Sydney’s train network has plunged into chaos during peak hour after a car smashed through a boundary fence and hit a signal box.
The crash at Riverwood has caused commuters to experience delays on Monday morning, as crews attempt to fix the extensive damage.
Sydney Trains has warned travellers heading to the airport to allow extra time for their journey.
The crash caused extensive damage to the box and damaged signalling equipment.
All main lines except for the T1 and T4 lines could be affected, and commuters are being advised to check their apps for delays.
‘We also have extra customer service staff and train crew on hand to assist, with buses at strategic locations to help if needed,’ Sydney Trains tweeted on Monday.
The delays are expected to be worst on the Leppington Line and Inner West Line services.
Frustrated commuters took to social media to vent their frustrations.
