The Transport Minister, Andrew Constance, has requested safety investigators conduct a review of a train service that ran close to bush fires in south-west Sydney on Saturday.

“Go a bit faster,” was the appeal of one passenger on board the train travelling between Glenfield and Holsworthy, with the nearby flames and smoke captured in video uploaded to social media.

“It’s jumped the line already,” a passenger said in the video.

The fire had threatened homes in south-west Sydney on Saturday. On Sunday morning, authorities had downgraded warnings to a watch and act status.
