Were these shot on film or some special camera? There’s something almost nostalgic about these pics, as if they’re from the late 90’s or early 2000s. Great photos.
Thankyou! Shot on a Sony ZV-E10. I didn’t realise the lens was dirty until I got the photos up on my computer + I had forgotten to adjust some of the settings too but I kinda like the vibe of the photos regardless, I might upload more later.

Ah, I thought maybe they were working on Merrimac Station.

What sort of naming convention of train line is this? Because the GC trains are terminating at Helensvale instead of Varsity Lakes, where are they shown in the PIDs as ‘City & Helensvale’, despite Helensvale also being in the Gold Coast like Varsity Lakes?

Damn, if only we had some sort of standardised line numbering system coming in very shortly to fix this…

Has the new map actually shown up this morning on the network?
Physical maps for the most part get updated on a time/damage basis not a new-stuff basis (still plenty of first-edition maps on NGRs which read 66 and 111, for example - NGRs are especially slow to be updated because their maps are stickers $$$).

Let’s hope the new rollout isn’t as bad as the time they did their rebrand - I’m guessing that by the end of august all station signage, train voiceovers and journey planner will reflect it.
This would be such a TL thing to half do this
Do we know if this T line adoption is part of an overall upgrade to PID’s VoiceOver/announcements etc?

They’ve got a very gradual-rollout approach to this sort of thing, which is fine IMHO. Update it when it needs updating for another reason, not just because it’s the new look and feel.
I think we can safely assume yes. Part of the reason for doing T-numbering now is so it’s part of the new QR PIDs from the get-go.

Any word on when we can expect to see the new PID interface and design ? Agree, long overdue.

The novelty of having a public holiday on a weekday is that the 546, operated by Park Ridge, is the only rocket in service for today.

Was there a reason Redlands buses were on an adjusted timetable due to the BRISBANE holiday?
Ours was Monday for the Redlands and transdev is based here

A little strange running a rocket service to the Brisbane CBD, where there was a public holiday. Pretty sure none of the Clark’s “rockets” (551, 561, 569, 573, 575, 577, 579, 581, any others I’ve missed) didn’t run yesterday.
I imagine it was because there would’ve been far less demand for express services to the CBD, similar to Logan.
