Trains disrupted

Northbound trains to Woy Woy station were disrupted on Wednesday afternoon due to strong winds knocking trees onto railway tracks and powerlines.

Cityrail spokesperson Ms Helen Wiloughby said the areas were cleared quickly by Railcorp emergency crews, but due to the scattered nature of the problems, train services were delayed right across the network.

"Most passengers would understand the safety implications of trees falling across overhead wires and on tracks, and realise that this was a situation largely out of our control," Ms Wiloughby said.

Trains were also blocked southbound due to a fallen tree at Tascott.
