Cleveland line trains are currently suspended at Buranda due to a road vehicle striking a rail bridge.

There are line delays in both directions:

Trains travelling away from Central are delayed up to 60 minutes
Trains travelling towards Central are delayed up to 30 minutes

Wouldn’t be Cleveland Line without bridge strike shenanigans.
What rail bridge is near Buranda?

Hopefully no bridge strike at Corinda for all us westsiders whom use the Springfield/Ipswich lines..

If the Buranda bridge was struck wouldn’t that have also affected 61, 175 and 204?

Any pictures available showing how it looks?

Currently at Darra station, and its depressing seeing so many standees on both the Springfield and Ipswich lines, despite either being close or is halfway towards terminating their journeys. All seats taken even after some tens of people alighted off. I can’t imagine how crowded it would have been in the inner-city sections.

I usually avoid this carnage by transferring at Corinda or Sherwood for a quiet 104/105 bound for PA Hospital busway station. Then transfer to an M2 to the City. A 100000% easier trip on the soul. And then vice versa in the afternoons.

Bus broken down inbound near UMG. Delays inbound. Just happened so expect it for the next hour north of UMG

Got one this evening. Roll-out must have just started as only seems to be a small proportion of the fleet with it.

Ironically, the Carina TAG axles all go to sleep during the weekends, providing zero high-capacity for routes 200, 204, 209, 222, etc. All you’ll ever see are rigid buses.

So much for keeping Brisbane moving imo.

On the other hand, I’ve noticed that Willawong are deploying a handful of their artics on the weekends to do 130/140/150 mmm

Its a multi lane road with the offending truck usually only partially blocking so traffic still flows.

Crisafulli’s electorate office is at Paradise Point, so maybe a ride on the ol’ Bombay Express?

If he times it well, maybe he can experience the mystical experience that is the all stops to Banoon service! :face_savoring_food:

The 3:06pm from Varsity to BNE with the chaos that is having to “share” the train with the menace that are Keebra Park SHS kids.

I just saw a Mt Gravatt coach travelling eastbound along Edenlea Dr, Meadowbrook. Never seen that before. Anyone have inside info?

Might have simply been a charter to the nearby Waterford RLC at Noffke Farm Park?

Alternatively, do Logan Hospital still have offsite parking near the university? Could be an over the top carpark bus?

This sounds most likely. I just have never seen a coach using Edenlea Dr before, but it makes sense given the works currently being undertaken on Armstrong Rd for the new Loganlea Station.

I did notice in the Deputy Premier’s reel for the Banyo housing development a few weeks ago, that he catches the train whenever he can (in this case, the Shorncliffe line).

I’m guessing its a smart public-relations move to show people that he takes public transportation and not a tax-payer funded chauffeur all the time.

Well this is different.

Hope all involved are OK (I can’t/don’t access the article).
