Episode Details

Wake Up Sydney with Johnny Rocket brings you a cool, showery Sunday update after yesterday’s heat, with conditions easing across the city. The Sydney CBD starts around 15.4°C and is heading for a top of 18°C, while Parramatta and Bondi are both set to reach about 17°C. Showers are expected across the region, so keep the umbrella handy, grab a jumper, and make room for the indoor drying rack. On the roads, the major traffic alert is at Putty Road, Mellong, where the road is closed in both directions between Milbrodale and Wheeny Creek due to a car crash. Emergency services and police investigators are on site, and the closure is expected to take some time. Drivers are urged to avoid the area, allow extra travel time, or consider using the M1 Pacific Motorway and New England Highway as an alternative route. Public transport is also heavily impacted by ongoing planned trackwork. Sydney Metro services are not running between Chatswood and Sydenham, with Metro operating only between Tallawong and Chatswood. Passengers should use Sydney Trains between Epping or Chatswood, the City and Sydenham. There are changed timetables and reduced frequencies across several lines, including impacts on the T1 Western Line, Richmond services, Leppington to City services, and trains between Blacktown and Lidcombe. Buses are replacing trains between Cabramatta and Granville, and on the South Coast Line between Bomaderry and Wollongong. Johnny reminds listeners to check the trip planner before heading out, allow extra travel time, and plan ahead for a slower, wetter Sunday across Sydney.
