Heavy vehicles: Use Seven Hills Rd → Old Windsor Rd → Cumberland Hwy, or M2 → Pennant Hills Rd → James Ruse Dr. Expect heavy traffic across the north-west; allow extra time. Cowan (M1): Northbound lane 1 closed approaching the Hawkesbury River bridge due to a truck breakdown—merge and slow down.

Hurstville area: Urgent signal repairs—some City-bound services may depart different platforms at Allawah, Arncliffe, Banksia and nearby stations; check station screens and listen for announcements. Network: Otherwise running well. Stay safe on the roads, check platform screens before you board, and have a great day in Sydney!
