In this episode of the Wake Up Sydney podcast, host Johnny Rocket delivers the essential scoop on Sydney’s current weather, traffic, and train situations.

 

It’s a sunny day across the city, with temperatures in the CBD starting at 15.8 degrees Celsius and climbing to 27 degrees. Out west in Parramatta and on the beaches like Bondi, expect similar sunny skies—perfect for some outdoor enjoyment, but remember to protect your skin.

 

Traffic is less idyllic, with incidents reported in Rhodes, where a two-car crash has closed lanes on Homebush Bay Drive, and in Blacktown, where a truck and car collision is affecting the Great Western Highway. Expect traffic delays in these areas and navigate with patience and goodwill.

 

On the train front, the Blue Mountains Line faces disruptions between Springwood and Emu Plains due to a vehicle blocking the tracks at Blaxland. Limited buses are substituting train services, while the T1 line remains operational. Additionally, travelers on the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra Line should brace for up to 30 minutes of delays due to urgent repairs at Martin Place.

 

On the brighter side, there’s an exciting night ahead in Sydney: Franz Ferdinand will light up the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, and the Good Things Festival with its rock-heavy lineup kicks off at the Sydney Showground. Whether you’re into indie or heavy metal, Sydney’s music scene is bustling.

 

Finally, Johnny encourages Sydneysiders to embrace their city’s beauty, despite the chaos in transit, reminding listeners of the incomparable allure of the Sydney Harbour. Until tomorrow, Johnny advises enjoying the sunshine and practicing kindness on the roads.
