[Derwan]

From Courier Mail:

TRAINS on the Caboolture line are running behind schedule today following the death of a man at Northgate station on Brisbane's northside.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the death near the Northgate Road level crossing about 2.20am.

Early indications suggest the death is not suspicious.

A Translink spokesman said commuters on the Caboolture line should expect minor delays until about 7am, particularly around Northgate.

On Monday, trains on the Ferny Grove line were thrown into chaos following a non-suspicious death near Alderley station.

I caught the train from Northgate at 6am - and wondered why they were all running on the suburban lines.
