On Saturday night from 9.45pm to 6am Sunday, buses will replace T3 and T4 trains between Sydenham and Central stations in both directions for important trackwork.  

Travel into the city for Vivid Sydney will not be heavily impacted by trackwork with an additional 400 train services on offer over the duration of the event.
