It looks like IT or Marketing hasn’t been given the instruction to remove the old timetable from the TransLink website. The new timetable is there, it isn’t a Gold Coast line only timetable, just has been named that way to separate it from the old timetable (which should be removed). ---

Wonder what physical timetables are in place at the stations… I don’t frequent Gold Coast enough (and dont use Airport) to know. ---

I think airport still has the same (contractual obligations) and Gold Coast is the same (or minor cuts at best in peak) ---

The cuts for the Gold Coast line have been minor. - AM peak: two trains, both being City & Doomben - PM peak: three trains, platform sweepers starting at Bowen Hills ---

140 is really busy or suffering from track closures. Bus full just went through Mater Hill ---

A lot of southside routes get extra busy during trackwork. 130, 140, 150, and their associated rockets, 555, and pretty much all the Logan\<\>City routes. Maybe not the 569, not saying it doesn’t, but I don’t think I’ve ever caught it. ---

In the end I had dinner with some friends and got on the 9:20pm R787 to Helensvale from Eagle Junction that got orders to shoot non-stop to the Goldy. Scheduled arrival of 10:40pm… Actual arrival at 10:15p! ---

Love a bus driver who can put some pedal to the floor… was he a 555 regular? 😛 Incredible how quick it is when there’s no traffic or very light ---

I remember one when a kid on my train was vaping and it set off the smoke alarms causing the train to stop. On the Redcliffe line, a few years ago now. Lucky it was during the afternoon and not in the morning peak (or evening peak for that matter). Everyone was peed off with this kid and I don’t blame them. ---

Stinker of an evening on the Cleveland line, trains delayed by 10-12 minutes both directions as a flow on effect from earlier issues in the Manly-Cleveland section. Just spent 5 minutes dwelled at Manly. ---

Saw this get installed at Birkdale station today. I don’t know what it is - looks like a power point of sorts. Wonder what it’s for. ![IMG_5925](https://d2ncxwic62bt2e.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b4a05ccec276983edde8f9be3a1f005d50c7f024.jpeg) ---

I’m not sure how many stops across Brisbane there are that still have the older style sign or even the flagpole style sign (excluding the district only stops since most of those still have the flagpole style sign). ---
