1.28pm Central-Ipswich train will also terminate at Darra. Bus will replace train to Ipswich. #qr

[somebody]

Simply run a rail shuttle Darra <-> Goodna ...

Ipswich - Goodna?

[ozbob]

Yes.  They could run out of trains for the down journeys before long.

So run a shuttle between Darra <-> Goodna rail can could be done, but bus if all too hard..  Trains can turn back at Goodna there is a crossing from down to up.

Turn back at Darra.

Once fixed, there are still trains in position to resume normal timetables.  The way they are going they are going to run out of trains ...

Ipswich/Rosewood line delays

Last updated: 2.40pm Monday 17 June 2013

Ipswich/Rosewood line trains are currently experiencing delays in both directions due to a track fault at Wacol, which has closed one of two tracks.

As a result, the 2.37pm Ipswich-Central train will now start from Darra station at 3.07pm.

Customers between Ipswich and Darra stations will experience a delay of 30 minutes until the next service departs Ipswich station.

[ozbob]

This is the better option I think ....

Central <==> Darra <----- Wacol-----Gailes------->Goodna <==> Ipswich
                                       rail or bus shuttle


As noted above looks like they are already having problems in turning out down services ex Ipswich ... wot a surprise!

[somebody]

I don't get it?  If a train can get through then what is the shuttle needed for?

[ozbob]

I don't get it?  If a train can get through then what is the shuttle needed for?

Because they are only running down trains ...  no up trains getting through.

Hence they have (will) run out of trains at Ipswich.  So if the fault continues they will have to run bus Darra <---> Ipswich both ways ...

So if you run trains between Ipswich and Goodna as one sector you keep the trains on that sector.  Similarly Darra < -- > CBD etc.

So you can bridge the gap with a rail shuttle/bus shuttle.

Once the line re-established away you go ...

Lucky break ...

Really?  There's points in both directions between Goodna and Redbank, and only in one direction between Redbank and Riverview.  There must be a dark (unsignalled) area, if that's true.
