Reddit discussion with a bit more insight on this morning’s incident:

A cancellation and a delay due to train faults on the Beenleigh line this morning. Also, the Translink social media person mustn’t have had their morning coffee yet!

They should really print the dates the railbus posters apply to if they’re going to put them up days early.

Do they re-use them, though? Maybe have a sticker with the dates. The new one can be applied over the old that way.
That’s what QR do at the stations. A corflute template sign with printed pages stuck on for the time and dates of upcoming closure.
It doesn’t look so great but has the information at least.

Signalling issues at Carseldine have caused trains to be backed up as far as Narangba and Mango Hill so far this morning
If only we had some kind of transport corridor, perhaps to the northwest of the city, that could provide redundancy at times like this

There was a southbound Milton train sitting at Carseldine as I pulled into work this morning, this explains why!

This issue might carry over into the afternoon peak - still not resolved.
The express running in peak direction saves precious little time and adhoc expressing like this in counter peak leaves a 30 minute service gap for skipped stations, which includes many busy/major stations when only stopping at Cannon Hill.
If only they could use expresses like this or similar rather than the mediocre Manly-Murrarie express service anyone traveling far is subject to
Quite a mess on the Cleveland line this evening, signal fault at Boggo Rd apparently to blame.

Weather probably hasn’t helped the case
Trains running every 10 mins for Ed Sheeran this weekend to accommodate arrivals and egress Ipswich/Springfield lines combined.
…aaaaaaaand the Beenleigh and Gold Coast lines are gonna be affected by another weekend of Banoon all-stoppers.
