      It's capped at $2.50 today because it's Sunday. Not bad for a train system which is actually functional.

  • Thanks so much for posting this! Friends are coming for Christmas dinner and would've been very confused that their train wasn't arriving.

    Wow. They didn't know that 150 train services wouldn't be able to run beforehand?!

    That is absolutely insane. How does the train network function with that amount of incompetence?

    It's not just a matter of inconvenience - it's a public safety matter! The number of drunk people who will now be tempted to drive has now increased significantly.

  • Not 150 …now 235

  • Sounds like a failure on the Shorncliffe line which is one of the major tracks heading north.

    All Shorncliffe services are cancelled and a number of other cancelation to other linesites.

  • Most up to date info on setvices are on the Translink Twitter feed as they "cant" update the Translink app.

    • That they "cant" even notify app users speaks volumes about how useless they are.

    Toothless Logan Bogans never pay at the best of times

    • Yep, pure scum. Wish the GC<—>Brisbane Airport line would skip Logan and Beenleigh startions altogether. So much filth

        Surely Pauline 'Pantsdown' Hansen can do something about them? Or maybe not; they are her main voter base

  • This train closures is happening too often. It would not be = Lets meet wages KPA's.

    Woodford https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/programme/ starts Tomorrow and YES again Qld Rail have closed for maintenance the lines from Brisbane north. So far this is the 3rd year in a row, and it does not matter that Woodford is the largest festival in the southern hemisphere. I once expressed my concern to the head of state and got the public servant legalese letter on safety- service - and no understand of other matters.

    With the stopping of train services the toll roads and tunnels should be discounted during the closure of services. as if?
