Didn’t they make helium balloons illegal in Qld, unless they are regular balloons?

Helium balloons can be sold, provided they aren’t released outdoors. I think it’s pretty unlikely regular balloons would end up in OHLE. I’m guessing someone did what the law said they couldn’t.

And platforms 3 and 4 don’t have any at all.

No commuter catchups for the Beenleigh and Gold Coast lines’ :sad_but_relieved_face:

I guess we all know why though (cough cough all-stops Bannon trains) :face_with_steam_from_nose:

Seems Kinetic now operates majority of TL services outside of Greater Brisbane.

Couldn’t get a photo but saw what appeared to be a yellow boxy train at Thorneside station through the trees

Line is closed for track works.
Also on the Manly-Cleveland works, most of the works appear to be on the Birkdale Road Bridge and Bagden Rd/Hardy Rd bridge

Huh, never seen translink report Straddie ferry service disruptions before. Interesting!

It’s not a Translink service, right?

Yeah that’s the interesting part. But hey, it’s appreciated nonetheless.

50c to Straddie would be nice, but no it isn’t

Despite it not being a TransLink service, 50c fares still apply:

North Stradbroke Island fares and tickets | Translink

Nevermind, it is TL.


TL owned, TSQ run

The buses are TL coordinated, but the ferries are still very much not.

50 cent fares are for Stradbroke Island buses. Ferry fares are considerably more expensive.

Some short delays due to a vehicle striking a level crossing boom gate at Kuraby.
