Multiple Train Cancellations Tue. 22nd March, 2011 : What's going on ?

[Fares_Fair]

Hello All,

There was commuter chaos yesterday afternoon at Central as multiple train services were cancelled left, right and centre.
Richlands train cancelled, Caboolture train cancelled, Doomben train cancelled and that was whilst I was on the Central platform for 10 minutes.

What was going on ?
Does anyone know ?

Regards,
Fares-Fair.

I think the doomben 3 car unit encounted a small problem while in the middle of heading to Roma Street en route from Rosewood. At Zillmere an inbound failed 6 car unit terminated mid afternoon so maybe the replacement sent out to do the Ipswich-return leg mixed with the units collecting the dead units on the Gold Coast line and at Zillmere could have had a little follow on effect because it was near peak.

Yes, I was wondering what was going on.. No erail updates received.. OH was waiting at Towong to go to Roma St at her usual time. Train was 20 late, and then she only just managed to squeeze in the door.. Ended up arriving at Cleveland 40 minutes late..
