Sydney Trains? WTF.

I was planning to take the train from Sydney CBD to Engie tomorrow and Saturday but apparently there's a train strike in Sydney this weekend? Getting to the stadium shouldn't be a problem, I can take the bus/ferry/Uber, but I'm a little worried that getting back is going to be a clusterfuck. How are the thousands of people who had planned to take the train going to get out of there after the concert? Sydneysiders, any tips?

    They are delaying the strike now until Friday so it won’t impact Thursday night!

    I will walk with my hands bound
    I will walk with my face blood
    I will walk with my shadow flag
    Into an Uber and get fleeced
    Then fall drunk on to the ground
