V’landys intervenes to save thousands of Knights fans from trackwork drama as grand final sells out

ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys has thanked NSW Premier Chris Minns for scrapping planned trackwork that threatened to cause grand final chaos for tens of thousands of Newcastle fans as the NRL decider sold out on Monday morning.

V’landys rang Minns early on Monday when the prospect of buses replacing trains between Newcastle and Wyong on Sunday was raised with NRL officials.

The Knights’ grand final run after claiming the wooden spoon in 2025 ranks as one of the unlikeliest stories in rugby league history, and has left transport officials scrambling.

Plans are being finalised for trains to run between Newcastle and Sydney, with V’landys forecasting an influx of more than 30,000 Knights fans as ticket sales for Sunday’s decider were exhausted shortly before midday.

Thousands of Knights fans were left deflated on the way to yesterday's NRL preliminary final after major train delays.

The wheels of a Pacific National freight service failed near Wyee yesterday morning, bringing transport to a standstill for hours. 

Transport for NSW is working to ensure public transport runs smoothly this weekend for the NRL grand final, with planned track works postponed.

The regional transport minister has sought to reassure Knights fans by postponing track work on the Newcastle train line scheduled for grand final day to avoid another commuter bungle.
