http://www.translink.com.au/travel-information/service-updates/bulletin/1294718762

Services suspended between Roma Street and Corinda

All inbound and outbound train services between Street and Corinda have been suspended due to an incident on the rail bridge between the Indooroopilly and Taringa stations.  Buses have been arranged to transport passengers to train stations between Roma Street and Corinda.  Passengers may experience delays of up to 30 minutes.

Passengers travelling between Corinda and Ipswich are still able to catch the Ipswich service.  The train is operating, via a diversion through South Brisbane to Yeerongpilly, rejoining the Ipswich line at Corinda.

I was on a Corinda train that got terminated at Taringa due to this. We were told it was the bridge next to McDonalds, and that there was an investigation team out assessing whether it was safe to continue. Ten mins later we were advised that it wasn't. Train staff advised Ipswich bound passengers to return to Roma St with them, where they "might" be able to get another train via Tennyson. Everyone else... Indooroopilly to Corinda... was dumped and left to their own devices. Walked from Taringa to Indooroopilly, past the bridge where the alleged incident allegedly took place. No sign of a truck, no sign of any QR or transport dept investigation team, no sign that any incident had occurred, no sign of any flood waters that could have allegedly swept the alleged truck under the bridge. Looked like a perfectly normal and sound bridge to me.

Just made it back to Darra from an urgent dash to and from Ipswich Hospital via Goodna.  Ipswich Highway is cut at Redbank.  No direct access to the highway from Goodna either.

Not much point in moving anywhere now for the next few days.  Stand by ..

I know this is not the time to be saying this but goodbye crr

All the more reason, CRR is being designed with flood protection, the tunnel will allow quick recovery ....   

[mufreight]

I know this is not the time to be saying this but goodbye crr

The entry and exit points for the CRR will be well above this flood level and no doubt the station at the lower end of the city will be equiped with flood doors which would ensure that it will not go for a swim

actually it was a BCC bus not a truck. I saw the tow truck taking it away. It often has been a truck before. If they started charging drivers like they have finally started charging drivers who attempt to drive through flood waters they might think twice.  Why would the bus be going there anyway.  No flooding.   I also have doubts that engineers got out to inspect it unless they were right on the spot.

"Severe weather and associated flooding has impacted on all modes of public transport, with bus, ferry and train services all impacted to varying degrees," TransLink chief executive officer Peter Strachan said.

The flood crisis is also impacting on staffing levels, with many transport employees having to remain at home.

Callers to the TransLink Call Centre number 13 12 30 are advised the centre is receiving a very high volume of calls from customers, resulting in extended delays in answering calls.
