Reported service disruptions rail - no longer in use

Map --> here!

Just the usual confusion.

If you look at the map you have the top most curve line going around towards Sherwood.  My guess is that there was a fault on that section of the line.  Trains can still run into Corinda. Reverse and carry on.  One day we did that on a down out of Oxley (the opposite). I was in the first carriage leaving Oxley and arrived at Roma St in the last carriage.  Due to some point issues we went through Corinda and onto the Tennyson line.  Crew swapped ends and we went back into Sherwood and then onto town.

Corinda (Ipswich line); then cross to Tennyson; then Yeerongpilly (on the Gold Coast line).

Not exactly sure what you're saying here. As has been said elsewhere, Gold Coast and Beenleigh trains are running via Ipswich line this weekend due to trackwork on the inner south. Therefore, trains are running around the Sherwood Loop, which is quite close to Corinda, so they're just saying Corinda (especially since a lot of the Sherwood Loop is in/closer to Corinda anyway).

Trains were heading to Oxley for a while to turnback. Probably reverted to Corinda later, although it depends on what trains/how many trains were around as to whether they could all turn back at Corinda or not.

Corinda used to be called South Brisbane Junction (changed to Corinda in 1888).  We could have really muddied the blog waters if there was one ... lolol

Ouch!  That is indeed possible, but I think only in one direction (outbound).

No wukkas This is the third broken rail (that i've heard about) in the last month or so... There was a severe one between Darra and Oxley a few weeks back, one at Beenleigh the other day (Thursday by memory) then this one today...

Queensland Rail is starting to send the odd tweet re service issues independently of TransLink  ...   

[Fares_Fair]

I assume this is a road issue and not a rail issue ? 
Perhaps just good communication from Queensland Rail to assist road users in the area, and not part of TL's responsibility.

[ozbob]

TransLink have NOT sent a tweet on this.

Not good, pax follow Twitter, it is a good push mode for alerts.  Apart from RBoT members ( LOL )  who scans TransLink's web site constantly?

Relax FF, barring more ' mis-adventures ' like maniacs driving into level crossings, wombats mating on track circuits or what ever, all is well again!

By what I have been told from a friend at work, there is a points failure at Redbank.

[ozbob]

Anyone know what the actual failure is?  Is it motors,  or circuits, and so forth?  I doubt if the rail itself is failing.

[petey3801]

Not overly sure, although it could be the remote connection to Control not working properly, so Control can't call the points into the correct position.

Karrabin trains suspended

Trains on the Ipswich line are suspended due to a police incident at Karrabin Station.

Surely trains are running to at least Ipswich?

Gotta love Translinks lack of information when what is pretty much a shuttle line effects a whole corridor.

Yes, 612 ABC Brisbane radio just told the world trains are suspended on the Ipswich line.  Much panic follows in CBD offices ... <groan>

I tweeted them and asked them if trains were actually running through to Ipswich? No response received, they excel in best communication practise.

The pair of them, TransLink and Queensland Rail really need to get their act together. Customer focus?  HAHHA  Erail, hit and miss, usually differs from TransLink.  Queensland Rail has an auto retweet function on TransLink tweets, so the mis-communications are magnified rapidly.  And then radio announcers read out the messages which many accept as literal.

Some times they don't even bother notifying that there are issues!

Yes, sometimes their service interuption advice is quite poor. Though good to see the online notices now include a 'Last updated' timestamp to give you an idea of how current any delays are.

If they started charging for these they'd probably make enough on the top to pay for the trackwork each year...

7:57 - EJ. I think they've either fixed the problem or made it safe for traffic. Few workers around but both mains and subs open.
