How to stay updated when there’s a train delay

If you’re in the station:

  • check for any messages on the real time information boards
  • listen for any station/platform announcements
  • if you are directed to use alternative transport, check information displays for maps which show bus stops for scheduled bus services.

If you’re on a train impacted by delays:

  • listen for on board announcements
  • check with staff on board.

Trains can be delayed for a variety of reasons such as infrastructure problems, people or objects on the tracks, medical incidents and occasionally the weather. When a train is delayed, we come up with a plan to manage it and minimise flow-on effects to later services.
