The commuter chaos in Sydney’s train network after a fatality leads to long delays on several routes and makes social distancing difficult on crowded platforms.
After the death in Lidcombe on Thursday afternoon, buses replaced the trains in both directions between Strathfield and Parramatta .
NSW’s Transport Management Center encourages all those traveling on the network to allow plenty of extra travel time, especially on the north coast and western lines.
Passengers accommodated on crowded platforms took advantage of the social media to share concerns about the mounting delays.
Commuters, including cricket fans on their way home from the SCG test, were crowded with five people at some stations, making social distancing impossible.
Though most wore masks, the incident has raised concern over the two coronavirus outbreaks in the greater Sydney area.
