Episode Details

Wake Up Sydney has your Saturday morning covered with the latest on weather, traffic and trains across Sydney for 26 September 2026. It’s shaping up to be a warm and mostly sunny day across the city. The Sydney CBD is starting at 16.8°C and heading for a top of 29°C, while Parramatta is set for a hot one, climbing from 15.9°C to 34°C. Bondi is sitting around 19°C with a top of 29°C, though winds are expected to pick up later in the day. If you’re heading outdoors or to the beach, pack sunscreen, water and secure any loose beach gear. On the roads, traffic is generally light, but drivers should watch for a car breakdown on the M4 Motorway at Concord, affecting the eastbound breakdown lane. Crews are on site and a 40 km/h reduced speed limit is in place, so slow down, take care and allow a little extra time. Public transport will need more planning today, with major weekend trackwork across Sydney. Metro services are not running between Chatswood and Sydenham, with services operating only between Tallawong and Chatswood. Passengers are advised to use Sydney Trains via Epping or Chatswood, the City and Sydenham. There are also buses replacing trains between Cabramatta and Granville, plus changed timetables and stopping patterns on parts of the T1 Western Line, Leppington services, Blacktown to Lidcombe, Bathurst to Lithgow, and the South Coast Line, where buses replace trains between Bomaderry and Wollongong. Some services may run every 30 minutes, and the rear carriage on Tangara trains remains closed for security measures. Before you head out, check the trip planner, allow extra travel time, and stay tuned to Wake Up Sydney for the updates you need to start your day smoothly.
