Wet Day and Train Changes in Sydney

Wake Up Sydney brings you the essential Saturday morning update for 15 August 2026, covering weather, roads and rail across Sydney. It’s a cool, damp winter day ahead, with showers expected in the CBD, Parramatta and Bondi. The CBD starts at 11.1°C and climbs to 19°C, Parramatta begins at 9.5°C with a top of 17°C, while Bondi sits at 13.1°C on the way to 17°C. On the roads, it’s a surprisingly smooth start across Sydney, with no crashes, breakdowns or major delays reported. Public transport is a different story, with major planned weekend trackwork affecting trains across several lines. Buses are replacing trains between Emu Plains, Richmond and Parramatta, as well as Bathurst and Parramatta. Services between Parramatta and the City are running to changed timetables and stopping patterns. There are also replacement buses between Leppington and Glenfield from 7:40am to 2pm, along with further timetable changes across parts of the Liverpool, Lidcombe, Homebush and City services. The T4 and South Coast lines are also facing significant changes, with buses replacing trains between Central and Bondi Junction. Travellers heading to Martin Place are advised to consider the metro. Before heading out, check your trip, allow extra travel time, and be ready to switch between trains, buses and metro services. Stay informed and start your day with Wake Up Sydney.
