Disruption Management (Events, Planned Closures, Track Work, etc...)

Signalling issues at Nundah this evening. Services on the Caboolture (including Nambour), Shorncliffe & Redcliffe Lines are suspended between Bowen Hills & Northgate.

Buses are currently replacing some trains.

Due to this signal fault, all Northside services are also Delayed by 60 minutes including the Doomben & Airport lines (in addition to Caboolture, Redcliffe & Shorncliffe).

On an unrelated note, All Shorncliffe trains departing from Northgate also be terminating at Sandgate due to accessibility works at Shorncliffe station and some services are also affected by ongoing industrial action.

Reference: Queensland Rail post on Facebook.

edit: my commute home is going to be hell! If your not in a rush to get home, provided you don’t have to drive home from the station, I would highly recommend you just reward yourself with a pub feed and a nice cold beer and just wait for this chaos to calm down a bit.

Flow on effect for Cleveland Line users, the 4.03pm train inbound got cancelled with zero notice.
10/10 no notes there from Translink

Has this been happening for a while, and I’ve only just noticed it, or is this something new?

That’s new.
Wonder what you define ‘protected industrial action’ as?

Have these kinds of issues increased in recent times, or is this just normal operations when running a rail network?

Currently at Pimpama station. Trains are departing from opposite platforms to normal, i.e. Airport services from P1 and Varsity Lakes from P2, due to a track fault between Helensvale and Nerang. This was reflected on PIDs and announced on the PA. Couldn’t see anything on Translink website or socials.

Some sort of incident at Carseldine again - not sure if it’s a signal fault or something else, but my train has parked at Zillmere for about 5 mins now. Equally annoying and funny to be stuck one stop before work!

Officially 50 days of industrial action, and over 10,000 train services cut as of today.

However, according to the PA at Fortitude Valley, all Ferny Grove line trains are currently delayed, not just that one.

Anyone seen any updates on the industrial action?

XPT related?

The XPT doesn’t arrive in Brisbane until 5am or so.

Probably freight.

Moderate bus congestion at Eight Mile Plains this morning, due to rail replacements clogging the platform. Surely after all this time, they should know it’s unacceptable to dwell there!
