Re: Rail & Private Operator Observations 2017

While travelling on a Gold Coast train, I saw yellow chains near and around the dual-gauge line around Yeronga station.. does anyone know what they are there for? They're not blocking the line or anything. :?:

Re: BT Observations June 15

Has anyone managed to get a photo of this elusive bus yet? I've been on the lookout for ages and am yet to see it, and would love to know what it actually looks like.

Re: BT Scanias

I've always wondered why the Scanias never go to W depot. I've only ever seen them at V or G depots. They're the only 3 CNG depots I think.

Re: BT Observations August 2014

In the CBD at lunch time, I saw 2142 proudly displaying it's V's. :D

It was blank running so couldn't tell if it had been, or was about to be, on 310 duties.

Gosh, it's been so many years since I saw a four digit fleet number on a bus with a V prefix! 8)

Re: BT Observations June - July 2014

saw a V Scania on a 66 this morning, was a bit surprised. I was on V743 on an inbound 330, and when we went into the APL, I noticed the internal lights from the front of the bus down to just before the rear door were RED. I was quite surprised, I've never noticed this before. It's it new? It looks g...

Rail & Private Operator Observations June - August 2014

On Friday, I noticed something really weird at Petrie station. At the northern end of Platforms 2 & 3 (the island platform), against the fence, there was a lone Go Card reader. Which makes no sense as there is NO exit there. And it appears to be having an identity crisis.. the screen on it shows...

I'm embarrassed to ask this, but what are the Oranas? Are they the B10Ls (Lemons and the Melons)?

QR once again showed total contempt towards Sunshine Coast passengers by sending SMU206 and SMU2?? up on this mornings Gympie North run. Ironically, there was some announcement from a minister in the MX that toilet equipped trains were now a priority for this line, and something about making sure mo...

Re: Caboolture West Master Plan

The first and most obvious step is to integrate Wamuran into the TransLink network. It's completely inappropriate that a former rail line that carried passengers into Brisbane, and replaced by a Bus service, isn't part of the Brisbane public transport system. It's a sign of gross incompetence when a...
