Commuters in Sydney have been warned to expect delays and slower journeys across the city’s train network from Wednesday due to industrial action by rail unions which are now considering an improved pay offer from the state.

Transport for New South Wales issued the warning to passengers about the “significant delays” on Tuesday afternoon, as city commuters continue to feel the effects of the impasse between rail unions and the state government over a new pay deal.
