Peep The Wild Footage Sydneysiders Are Sharing Of The Rain-Induced Public Transport Chaos

Sincere thoughts and prayers are with people from Sydney who have not only had to deal with the knowledge their city officially recorded its wettest year on record, but have also had to fight for their lives trying to get home from work after train tracks at Central flooded on Thursday. The concept of tracks flooding and trains being rendered useless is very 19th century to me. It almost feels like we should start calling the big, metal beasts “locomotives” again. The T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T7, T8 and T9 lines

It’s going well. 7:20pm

Glad we have all that constant trackwork and maintenance every weekend so the #sydneytrains network doesn’t fail if the weather turns pic.twitter.com/VGYvGfJI37 — Lord of the Dance (@trashyhonky) October 6, 2022

Hearing that the southbound platform at North Sydney has been closed briefly due to overcrowding because the trains are borked at Central.

After getting trampled on the platform at North Sydney station I’ve been on a train from North Sydney for exactly one hour… It’s just arrived at Town Hall. It’s packed. Name a better way to spend a Thursday evening. I’ll wait. #Sydneyrain #weather #Sydneytrains

I’ve now been 4hrs on a train from Parramatta to the city, and I’m not even at Central yet! #sydneytrains

#sydneytrains just check this hashtag. Took me over 3 hrs from North Sydney to Epping. RIP my knees. Trains so packed, nobody could even move a little. How incompetent is this? And it wasn’t even bucketing down that much.

You know the train network is a mess when your fellow passengers cheer each time the carriage moves. 1h 45mins to go from North Sydney to Central

Hey #SydneyTrains … I really enjoyed been stuck on a train for over an hour just to get to one stop. Also fun fact: Who knew light rain could stop a train, actually many trains… Move over superman, we got rain!#Nswtrains #cityrail #shittyrail

Pity party for the poor souls commuting from Parra to Wollo tonight, our commute home took over 6 hours. Left Parra at 515 ish and still not home. #sydneytrains #SydneyWeather

On a train from Katoomba to Sydney’s Central… already closing in on an hour late with the delay spent a couple of Kms from the destination. Pity those who rely on this substandard service on a daily basis…

Horrendous weather in Sydney. Trains are absolutely in ruins. A ten minute journey has so far taken over an hour and I’m still not there yet.
