But less than 24 hours out, commuters who travel between Kiama and Bomaderry have not yet been provided with a timetable.
The timetable is blank, with a link to a page with a few brief details about the interruptions.
All train services will run to a reduced service.
A number of regional NSW Trainlink services will be replaced by coach.
The strike is expected to impact business – Sydney Trains is advising employers to talk with their staff about alternative working arrangements such as the potential for working flexibly, taking annual leave, working from home or other locations where possible, or changing start and finish times.
Delays and interruptions will continue from Thursday to Sunday, due to the Australia Day long weekend.
NSW's biggest rail union says industrial action set to cripple Sydney's train network from Thursday is still on because its members who number nearly 5000 remain unhappy with the latest offer that has been placed on the table.
On Monday night the state government offered Sydney Trains staff a 3 per cent annual pay rise over the four-year term of a new enterprise agreement, which was described as a final proposal. That includes productivity improvements designed to try to keep the offer within its 2.5 per cent annual cap on public sector salaries.
Arriving for more talks with other unions in central Sydney at noon on Tuesday, Rail Tram and Bus Union state secretary Alex Claassens said his members were "still not happy with the offer that's on the table" and they intended to be "going ahead with our overtime ban" on Thursday and a 24-hour strike on Monday.
