Apparently there’s an ongoing incident at South Brisbane station requiring emergency services. I heard a manual announcement as I got off the train at Roma Street station saying that the trains on platforms 4 and 5 would be held there for some time.

Our guard said there was a trespasser on the Merivale Bridge. Train now running express Boggo Rd to Manly.

Hooray for the express pattern? Guessing it’s using the freight line maybe.

How someone gets on the merivale is beyond me

Is the freight line electrified? Otherwise how can the suburban train use the freight rail for express running?

It’s not.

Lots of inertia? :joy:

I thought it was electrified - my bad! I wish it was then

It wouldn’t have needed to use the freight line as the regular line would be empty as all the trains had been blocked in the city.

Southern lines (T4 T5 T6) all running late this afternoon no idea why

They also seem to have got rid of the charging points at Central :face_with_steam_from_nose:
Really annoying

All services at Roma St are using P8 and P9?!

And P10 for Ferny Grove.

Can’t see any service update online.

“The Gold Coast train, stopping all stations, will arrive on platform 1 in approximatly 2 minutes,” said Ross when the PIDs shows the train arriving in 6 min.

What in the holy mother of bunching is going on here?


Here comes another one?!?!?!

I know bus bunching in Brisbane is a problem, but this is just ridiculous.

Something that happens all the time with the 130 and 140, too. Ridiculous.

I’ve seen it happen numerous times with the 150.

This is something that headway management would help with considerably.

Looks like a moderately-sized enforcement operation at Beenleigh this afternoon. Pretty sure I counted 6 TL or QR officers, and two police.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or do we actually get train capacity notifications now?? :distorted_face:
