Car Plunges Onto Tracks at Blaxland, Shuts Blue Mountains Line Between Springwood and Penrith

A delicate recovery to remove the wreck and fix damaged overhead wiring is expected to run through the day.

Overview

  • Train services are suspended between Springwood and Penrith with buses replacing trains and journeys taking longer than usual.
  • Crews are working to clear the vehicle and repair overhead wiring, with Sydney Trains warning the effort will continue for much of the day.
  • Passengers have been urged to delay travel where possible and to check live updates and station announcements before setting out.
  • Emergency responders assessed two people at the scene, and no one required transport to hospital, according to early reports.
  • The closure adds to separate delays on the T4 Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra Line linked to urgent repairs at Martin Place.
