^ two in a row.  Really is getting quite ramshackle these days.  How would you feel waiting at one of the skipped stations?

Yep not good ozbob. Personally I use those counter peak services to move between hemmant/Buranda then do the walk to woolies buranda (7 mins)...quick shopping then catch Ipswich rd outbounds.
Very convenient saving a good 10 minutes instead of having to muck around at south bank and then over to the bus jam.
Its random skips like that which also wreck it for the commuters that board at cannon hill around that time needing to connect into the outbound S.E busway services.

Anyone know what that was about? Did a freight break down on the NCL somewhere?

Especially for you, techblitz:

Ok, I realise you're probably using OB services at this time of day.

Now, about these skip stop Cleveland services. By my reckoning, a commuter arriving at Cannon Hill at 5:32pm (i.e., one minute after the previous service departed) would be waiting until 6:16pm, i.e. 44 minutes. In the middle of f*#king peak hour!

Cleveland line woes  ...

Good Morning,

Last evening two successive inbound trains on the Cleveland line were altered to run express viz.  the 5.09pm Cleveland to Central ( https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=1862.msg209868#msg209868 )  and the 5.24pm Cleveland to Central ( https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=1862.msg209869#msg209869 ), both to run express (skip stations) from Morningside to Park Road.

We have calculated that passengers on the stations skipped would have to wait up 44 minutes for a train ( https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=1862.msg209873#msg209873 ).  Hardly satisfactory is it, particularly as in late peak.  We call on Queensland Rail to exercise some better judgment when it comes to altering services and have better regard for the impact on passengers.

The Cleveland line suffers from prolonged infrastructure neglect.  A constrained station turnback point at Manly was recommended to have a third platform by 2012.  The single line section from Manly to Cleveland is an anachronism and contributes significantly to the disproportionate number of altered services on this line, continuing to frustrate passengers and turn them away from public transport. The timetable for the Cleveland line is unreliable with these constraints and needs urgent improvement.

Best wishes,
Robert

A person was trapped under a train at Virginia.  This has lead to a lot of delays, alterations and cancellations this PM peak.
