Sydney Trains CEO Matt Longland strongly advises that Sydney residents “avoid all unnecessary travel” on Aug. 31 due to industrial action.

The action, led by the Rail, Tram, and Bus Union (RTBU), will be the final industrial action of the month after a series of strikes and disruption to commuters throughout all of August.
