Major train delays as rail lines closed

This kinda affected me, in that all the expresses services from Hornsby to City via Epping were delayed at least 45mins, which included my normal school train, but luckily, I was savied by library duty! so I caught some very earlier train. :D

Damaged overhead wiring near Beecroft forced CityRail to suspended city-bound trains between Hornsby and Epping, leaving travellers on the Northern Line as well as the Newcastle and Central Coast Line with delays of about 45 minutes.

A CityRail spokesman said he was not sure what caused the damage to the wiring, but expected repairs to be completed by midday.

"Commuters travelling to the city on the Northern Line this morning should leave home early if they can, as major delays are expected. Buses are replacing trains for some stations, but travellers should consider catching a train on the North Shore Line instead, if they are able to travel direct to North Shore Line stations," the spokesman said.
