Join host Johnny Rocket for a lively 7:30am “Wake Up Sydney” broadcast on Thursday, 16 January 2025, covering all you need to know about the day’s weather, traffic, and train updates. Expect a mild start of around 20.5°C, climbing to 24°C with a few morning showers likely to ease up later. However, don’t be surprised by a brisk wind sweeping across the city, Parramatta, and Bondi Beach.
On the roads, drivers in Epping should be cautious of a fallen tree on Beecroft Road near Carlingford Road, where flashing yellow lights and detours are in place. Meanwhile, a multi-vehicle accident on the M4 in Greystanes has led to lane closures, causing heavy congestion. It’s best to plan ahead before hitting the road.
Train travelers have a fair share of challenges: Strathfield’s accessible toilets are currently closed, and Domestic Airport’s lift to T2 and T3 is under upgrade until 20 February—passengers with mobility concerns are advised to use the T-Bus from the International Terminal. Buses replace trains between Lidcombe and Olympic Park, and urgent repairs have halted service between Mulgrave and Richmond. Minor disruptions include a fallen tree near Wollstonecraft, industrial action slowing services around Homebush, and an Opal card reader outage at Denistone.
Despite these bumps, “Wake Up Sydney” wraps up with the optimistic spirit the Harbour City is known for. Tune in and stay informed, then get out there and make the most of Sydney’s charm!
