00:00The barges are loaded and the stage is set for Sydney's biggest night of the year.
00:08I believe it's the best show on earth when it comes to New Year's Eve.
00:14Over a million revellers are expected to descend upon the harbour foreshore to catch a glimpse
00:20of the shimmering spectacle.
00:24Getting home is a test of patience, which is why...
00:28We'll be operating more than a thousand extra train services across the suburban network
00:32but also the inner city network in and out of Sydney.
00:36From 4am on New Year's Eve, trains will run continuously for 46 hours until 2am on the
00:422nd of January.
00:44Trains will not be stopping at Circular Quay from 3pm on New Year's Eve and if you're travelling
00:49from the city, trains will not stop at Milsons Point station from 6pm.
00:56To curb the crowds, extra staff, buses and the new metro.
01:02Train doors opening.
01:03Now we have a train every 4 minutes in each direction from Barangaroo and Victoria Cross
01:08and this will make a big difference for those crowds.
01:11Authorities are insisting there'll be no major train delays after the rail unions withdrew
01:16industrial action earlier this week.
01:20But it might not last long with possible bans set to resume from early next year.
01:26For those looking to bump in and out early, the tip is plan ahead.
01:31We've done it before and I think you just have to be mentally prepared.
01:35And for clearways and road closures in place, there's a warning for those looking to drive.
01:41Last year we towed over 220 cars out of clearway areas, so check for those signs if you're
01:47in that area.
01:48Everyone here is really, really excited for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
01:51Farewelling 2024 from the best seat in the house.
