Nah nowhere near any neutral section, it was in the 140km/h section between Beerburrum and Elimbah. Got up to full speed (which is only like 100km/h on the SMUs) and suddenly it went to backup power and the train coasted for a bit and after about 20-30 seconds the lights came back on.
I suspect maybe an issue with the actual train, if the whole caboolture feeder tripped offline it would have caused bigger issues.

Walking past Bowen Hills station last night just before 11pm and saw a 301 picking up passengers, was surprisingly busy - probably 15-20 people on the bus, which I was surprised by considering it was late night on a Thursday Wednesday
Update: Buses will be temporarily missing Mater Hill, South Bank and Cultural Centre bus stations due to congestion from unplanned maintenance works on the SE Busway. Metro M1 & M2 services will continue to service these stations. https://x.com/Translink_QLD/status/1940765303895372171
I was leaving with South Bank last night 19:40 and at that point all routes were still running and there was 10 min delays as tunnel between South Bank and Mater Hill down to single lane with traffic control.
Update: Buses will temporarily miss Mater Hill, South Bank and Cultural Centre stations due to an issue with busway tunnel ventilation systems. M1 & M2 services will continue to service these stations. https://x.com/Translink_QLD/status/1940879203869540684
09:10. Minimal crowd at Buranda with a very high TransLink staff presence. I didn’t speak to any but they seemed to be warning people at the door of South Bank bound services.
I can imagine the capacity of the ‘metro’ buses to handle extra crowds would be fairly limited since they have a capacity of 170 people verses 950 for a train.
But I imagine there might be a fair few people that work in the Mater Hospital precinct as well.
The Ms do have a lower capacity, but they are running at 5 minute frequencies which might tip things in its favour - I feel it might be a case of how quick you get people over there, as opposed to how many you can carry there in one go.
The M1 I was on filled up quite a bit at Woolloongabba, but it still wasn’t jam packed.
