Sydney trains will run on Thursday after a small concession from the rail union to delay strike action until Friday, amid an ongoing wage dispute with the government.

A months-long dispute between the NSW government and the state branch of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) escalated on Tuesday when Transport Minister Jo Haylen announced no train services would run for four days.
