Unfortunately, I think this is going to get worse before it gets better.
However, this fixing Sydney Trains bullshit and almost a billion dollars spent in 2 years has done absolutely nothing.

The graph that shows how bad Sydney’s peak-hour train delays have become
Delays to Sydney’s peak-hour train services caused by a raft of incidents have continued to surge since a wide-ranging review into the beleaguered heavy rail network almost two years ago, hitting their worst levels in more than a decade.
The highest number of incidents during peak hours caused by factors such as infrastructure defects since 2014 was recorded in May last year at 568, and they remain high this year, new figures show.
Denting commuter faith in the network’s reliability, 558 incidents that resulted in delays to passenger trains were recorded in March – the second-highest in more than a decade – followed by 538 in July.
The incidents have trended higher since 2023, when a review into the rail system commissioned by the then-transport minister Jo Haylen was completed.
After a final report was released in April last year, the average number of incidents recorded every two months jumped from 380 to 480, a 26 per cent increase from the prior 14-month period.
The latest figures have been released to NSW parliament following questions on notice from the opposition. An incident is defined as any event that causes a delay in a train service of more than five minutes.
Coalition transport spokeswoman Natalie Ward said the data made clear Sydney Trains’ performance had deteriorated on the Minns government’s watch despite two reviews and three reports.
“The travelling public have been sold a lemon by Chris Minns, Jo Haylen and John Graham. Their reviews have now been exposed as nothing more than PR exercises to distract from their inability to deliver real results for commuters,” she said.
