The Cleveland line is less reliable than the Rosewood line

Saw the train fixed fly through Coorparoo at about half past two this afternoon.
Another win unfortunately for the Rosewood line.
Trains are magically flying between Roma Street and Corinda again tonight, I just looked and theyāre in the timetable on Journey Planner funnily enough despite the service notice saying otherwiseā

There was also a poster a Central Station that stated trains were running express between Roma St and Corinda via Tennyson. Didnāt think to get a photo, sorry.
Also, looks like last nightās works ran late:
I sure hope theyāve done something about getting buses for Corinda <> Milton passengers!
Not the only train affected, including, bizarrely, a Beenleigh train. Also, TL social media team need to watch their spelling ā#TLBeenelighlineā oops. I wouldāve thought theyād have a list of predetermined hashtags to choose from, but I guess not.
I assume that Beenleigh line train was affected because the express Corinda-Roma Street train had to run on the same tracks from Yeerongpilly inbound.
Also, petition to rename Beenleigh to āBeenelighā?

Random question. Iām on an artic, which Iām guessing by the fact itās a 142 is from Willawong. No idea what number or model, sorry.
Iām in the rear-facing seat at the back of the front section, and thereās something that looks like some kind of electrical connector in front of me.
Anyone know what itās for?
Itās probably the one horcrux invented by Transport for Brisbane thatās preventing the gas artics from retiring. If you donāt break the horcrux, they are forever immortal and bound to be apart of the bus kingdom for another 20 more years.

Bus propaganda with all these industrial closures happening around the place - trains reduced, ferries on strike 
I feel like this industrial action wouldāve been settled months ago had the sanctions been more extreme: all train lines stuck at 30 minute frequencies in peak; and Nambour line every 90 minutes all-day, acting as a shuttle to Caboolture.
Now that wouldāve caused public mutiny in the streets of Brisbane.

Under the assumption and maybe false hope that weāre getting new train line names along with the L1 for trams, I wonder if this coincides with the new PIDs and maybe new line colours (one for each T1 rather than the shared as is now)
Nsw related but released an hour or so ago

But the station has āFarmā in its name, so what did everyone expect?

Probably one of the most likely of places for it to happen, given thereās a race track about 300m away.
Not sure why/how the horse seems to have crossed over the tracks to get to what seems to be the western platform though, given the race track is east of the station

While I would really like our rail lines to be numbered like in NSW, Iām inclined to believe this was a decision made by Keolis Australia, the mob that actually operates the G:Link. If the heavy rail network does follow suit, it would probably be because QR was inspired by G:Linkās move to do this, rather than a coordinated effort by Translink themselves.
Keen to hear other peopleās perspectives though because I donāt have too much understanding of the inner-workings of these companies.

Youāre probably right, because Translink and coordinationā¦something something about being unable to organise an activity in a house of ill repute with a large number of high-value banknotes.
Theyāre a shambles right now. Worse than ever, IMO.

Donāt forget that it was actually the Ferries which got numbering first 
There is still some good work happening at Translink.
