Commuter services have resumed on Tuesday morning on the Hunter's rail network to a reduced timetable.
A deal was struck between the government and the Rail, Tram and Bus Union overnight to restore some normality to the state's railways.
Limited services are expected to operate across the Hunter every 30 to 60 minutes and Transport for NSW says some buses will be put on to replace trains, but commuters should make alternative arrangements if possible.
Transport Minister, David Elliott says he's continuing talks with the union this morning ahead of a Fair Work Commission hearing on Wednesday.
" This is as good as it's going to get. This is as good as we could've got. I'm very grateful to the union for agreeing to it. I think that does show a level of good faith, and I'll be taking that good faith and repaying it," he said.
