Trackwork is poised to cause chaos across a number of train lines in Sydney this weekend on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
No trains will be running through the stations at Sydney’s domestic and international terminals as the T8 Airport line is set to be the most affected by the “essential” trackwork.
Trackwork runs right throughout the weekend, until early Monday morning just as Sydney Airport becomes busier with school holiday travel.
Buses will replace trains running between Glenfield and Sydenham as well as between Sydenham and Central.
Trains are also not running to Museum, St James or Circular Quay stations across the weekend, adding to the confusion.
The T2, T4 and T5 lines will also be affected.
On the T2, buses will replace trains between Leppington and Glenfield and on the all-stations Inner West rain between Ashfield and Central.
Timetables will also change between Macarthur, Glenfield and Central with train to make an extra stop at Homebush but to pass through Ashfield.
T1 Western Line Penrith trains make extra stops at Burwood and Ashfield. T9 Northern Line trains make extra stops at Croydon and Ashfield.
Trains will still run along the T4 but Cronulla and Waterfall services will make extra stops at St Peters and Erskineville.
Extra trains will also run between Hurstville and Bondi Junction.
From 2am on Saturday, buses will replace trains between Leppington and Richmond on the T5.
The trackwork will take place until 2am Monday.
