Wake Up Sydney brings you the Saturday 19 September 2026 update, with a bright and sunny start across the city and warm spring weather setting up a great day outdoors. Sydney CBD is heading for 28°C, Parramatta for 30°C, and Bondi for 27°C — ideal beach and park conditions, but don’t forget sunscreen, a hat and plenty of water.

On the roads, drivers should watch for delays at Ingleside, where a two-vehicle crash on Mona Vale Road at Manor Road is affecting traffic in all directions. Emergency services and a tow truck are on scene, so slow down, take care and follow directions.

For public transport, major weekend trackwork is impacting several lines. The T1 Western Line is running to a changed timetable and stopping pattern, the T1 North Shore Line has buses replacing trains between Hornsby and Milsons Point, and T9 Northern Line services are altered. Sydney Metro is running extra services between Tallawong and Sydenham to help passengers get around.

Also, rear carriages on Tangara trains are closed for security measures, so passengers should use another carriage, check transport apps before travelling and allow extra time. Tune in to Wake Up Sydney for your essential weather, traffic and train updates across Sydney.

On the roads, Sydney drivers are facing a run of truck breakdowns causing delays and lane closures. Trouble spots include Briens Road near the Cumberland Highway at Northmead, the M1 Pacific Motorway northbound at Mount Colah, the M7 southbound at The Horsley Drive in Horsley Park, and the M4 eastbound approaching Church Street at Holroyd. Johnny urges motorists to slow down, merge safely and allow extra time for the morning commute.

There is brighter news for public transport users, with Sydney Trains and Metro running normally for the fourth day in a row. Johnny celebrates the “glorious streak” for the rail network, giving commuters a smooth start on trains and metro services across the city.

Wake Up Sydney: Weather, Traffic and Trains – Wednesday 16 September 2026

Good morning, Sydney. Today’s update brings a chilly, windy and partly cloudy start across the city, with the CBD and Parramatta sitting around 11.3°C and heading for tops of 17°C. Bondi is a touch warmer early at 12.1°C, but only expected to reach 16°C, so it’s definitely a jacket-and-scarf kind of day.

On the roads, drivers should take care at Mascot following a cleared two-car crash on General Holmes Drive northbound near Foreshore Road, where merging is still required. The bigger concern is at Milperra, with a multi-vehicle crash on the M5 Motorway eastbound just past Henry Lawson Drive closing two of three lanes and causing heavy traffic. Allow extra travel time and merge safely.

For public transport commuters, there’s good news: Sydney Trains and Metro services are running normally, with no reported incidents or disruptions. It’s another smooth morning across the rail network.

Stay warm, plan ahead, and travel safely with Wake Up Sydney.
