On the network

Tbch I thought they would all connect to a single computer in the station driving all the displays rather than each having its own computer. I guess the latter is better for reliability though.

Hopefully they will update the onboard screens of the NGRs and 60sets to show useful information rather than ads and campaigns.

Got caught up in this too and was wondering why. Service ran on time until we hit the inner city and then slowed to a crawl from Bowen Hills, basically walking speed for much of the valley → Roma Street leg.

I’m currently on an M2 and the aircon is really struggling with the heat today. Definitely warmer than the standard bus I transferred from.

Currently on 9033, an M1 inbound, and the air-con is working stellar. The Metro Free WiFi is also working fine, in spite of the rain :cloud_with_rain::+1::+1:

My bad guys, this seems to happen whenever I tap on at 4pm in the afternoon :wink:

Theyre rolled out track closure signs at most stations. Bright yellow saying about the Dec-Jan closures. Seen a few out here on the Cleveland line

An interesting one that just happened to show up in my FB feed.

Not sure if anyone has spotted this before, but it looks like Clarks now has at least one of the new blue coloured buses in their fleet (registered with one of their own personalised CBS number plates).

Yeah 51CBS and 52CBS have come online just a few days ago.

Oh nice! Will be good to see some more of the new colour models getting about Logan - PRT have been using one on 545 recently.

Funnily enough, I saw an ex-CBS Bustech bus doing a school bus run down in Sydney while I was down there last week, around the Leichardt/Haberfield area. Looks like a pretty clapped out one (not dissimilar to a number of the buses I caught down there TBH), and still wearing the remains of its old LCBS signage.

Overheard on the train just now “it’s not the quiet carriage, it doesn’t have quiet carriage stickers on the side”.

Yep, NGR second car.

Is there gasp no closures this weekend before the Big Doozey next weekend?

Stop 1H (345 Aspley Hypermarket) has got to be one of the worst QSBS stops..

The line just snakes all the way down to the abyss, where its dim, derelict, and where the air ventilation is poor.

And not to forget Stop 1H is where all the southside BUZs’ like to dump their thousands of commuters :sob:

In sum, being a 345 commuter waiting at QSBS feels like you’re always under attack :face_with_steam_from_nose: :face_with_steam_from_nose:
