Its 6x6 stabling with the space available for extra roads in the future As the like above should show.

I stand corrected

Maybe you should take a potty with you! 

[Stillwater]

We could have a potty poll!  Place an image of Anna Bligh in the inside base of one potty and Campbell Newman's image in a second recepticle.  After a suitable period of time, see which potty contained the most effluent.

Why bother with images, lets have the real thing, they both would be in the right place, and flushimg them both down the gurgler would do Queensland a favor.

I'm onboard IMU164, which along with leading unit IMU171 commenced work out of the Robina yard this morning has both toilets out of order.  The 4:04pm from Central to Nambour is a part of this train's working roster.

[Fares_Fair]

oh dear, everyone better 'hang on' ....

[Stillwater]

.... or 'hang out', as the case may be.  Maybe schedule and extra long stopover at Cabultcha and Landsboro so those who need to can 'decant' their bladders.  Or Pee Tree perhaps.

... legs crossed.

Doesn't help when a number of peak trains doesn't stop at Pee Tree.

On the other hand, since some IMUs share Gold Coast and Nambour roosters (like IMU164/171 was rostered on today), Been Leak and Logan Leak are two other places.

[Mr X]

Rock Leak is another candidate.

[Gazza]

Peetrie?

[Fares_Fair]

Dak a bin ?

[Stillwater]

The best!!!   

[Arnz]

This a Gold Coast train running express from Porked Road to Beenleak, stopping only at Droopers Plains and LoganLeak.  

Should be the standard announcement for the substitute SMU/EMUs heading down to Varsity Lakes, or a IMU with both toilets out of order..  

[HappyTrainGuy]

If I was on an subbed EMU I'd hold it in just to hear it scream at full tilt

Do the Rail-Buses have toilets on board?

[Fares_Fair]

Do the Rail-Buses have toilets on board?

My understanding (from those I have asked) is that they do not.

[SurfRail]

Do the Rail-Buses have toilets on board?

No.

The railbus operator for 649, KBL, uses normal low floor urban buses on this route. 

There used to be dedicated low floors painted in the railbus livery for this route, but has since been painted in TransLink colors and are now placed on any given route KBL operates.
