7.24am City to Varsity Lakes train delay

The 7.24am Central to Varsity Lakes train has been delayed by up to 15 minutes, due to a mechanical fault at Roma Street.

The 7.37am Central to Yeerongpilly train will now operate to Varsity Lakes to cover the trip.

Customers should expect minor delays.

[Fares_Fair]

Unit breakdown at Wooloowin, hundreds of pax get onto our 6:14am Nambour to Roma Street service.
17 minutes late into Central.

No announcements about these delays were made by the guard, nothing said whatsoever the entire trip, and that is what irks pax the most.
Being treated like mushrooms.

We waited for many minutes just north of Toombul station, nothing said.
Again north of Wooloowin, nothing said.

Nothing said even as hundreds boarded the train.
But glad we could assist them.

Feedback passed onto QR.


EDIT: word 'driver' replaced with 'guard' as per ozbob's advice. 

[ozbob]

It is the guard that makes the announcements, or 'none announcements' as the case may be ... lol

Travel on the London Tube and any delays longer than a minute or so and the driver (I guess) is on the PA system telling everyone why there's a delay (eg waiting on a signal etc) and what to expect.

Not sure, but when I've been heading home on the FG line early afternoon, they've been working on the tracks between the Mains and Mayne just north of Bowen Hills, so all trains on the Main's starting/terminating at Bowen Hills were having to use the FG flyover to get to the back of Mayne. Haven't been through this weekend, so not sure if that's what they're doing, but it could be related.

They're working on the Subs Bowen Hills - Roma Street. No real need for it to be on the Translink site, any delays would only be 2-3 mins at most, which would be made up by the time the train gets outside of the city quite easily.

Agreed.  Train operations are fairly normal regardless of the closure of the suburbans (and this has happened in the past with no or very little public notification simply because it isn't needed).  The only real times that the public has to be informed about closures is when there are major trackworks shutting down an entire line which requires replacement bus services.

I traveled yesterday between Birkdale and Albion and back, and only got delayed by a minute or so, and still arrived on time by the time I got to/from Birkdale with no problems whatsoever.

[ozbob]

For the record, there were minor disruptions notices posted on all lines on the TransLink website, but only if you went past the main page ...

They tweeted (good) but did not put it up front on their web site.  Letting people know is always preferable.

About an 1hr and 20mins after it happened, it's finally on the TL site.

Police incident at Thornside

Customers can expect delays of up to 30 minutes outbound between Thornside and Cleveland, following a police incident.

Inbound trains are experiencing minor residual delays of up to 10 minutes as a result.

Wouldn't this also therefore impact on outbound Ferny Grove and Airport services? I know theres a bit of padding around Central for this sort of thing, but I didn't think it was enough to wipe off a 10minute delay.

[HappyTrainGuy]

I don't know the fault but its just a reduced speed limit for maint. guys that are on the track/in the area inspecting/fixing the fault for safety reasons. Say if a Airport service starts to catch the Ferny Grove service on signals/freight on the express line/express line not accepting traffic/freight rerouted onto the passenger lines etc. Shouldn't have too much impact as time can be made up in the city and from station dwells.

Ahhk. I was just going off the notice saying <10minute delays.

On the topic of slow spots, I noticed 40km/hr speed boards on the approach to FV station from the north, next to the construction site adjacent to the tracks there. Anyone know the cause/duration of these? I've heard anecdotal evidence that vibrations from the construction site had been causing the ballast to shift and settle, causing a slight dip in the tracks?

Looks like they got things mixed up... While I was listening in on the radio, it was outbound services that were being delayed, not inbound. First two pax trains delayed were quite significant delays (GC express followed by BNH stopper), to the point that the next GC express and BNH stopper were right behind them getting authority to travel through the section!

Caused by a couple train failures, so instead of cancelling some trains altogether they put on a few 3 car trains instead.
