Episode Details

Commuters in southeast Queensland face extended train line closures until April 30th, affecting Gold Coast, Beenleigh, Airport, Caboolture, Doomben, Redcliffe Peninsula, Shorncliffe, and Sunshine Coast lines. Buses will replace trains, but plan for extra time as bikes and luggage may not fit everywhere. These closures are part of major upgrades like Cross River Rail, faster rail, new train manufacturing, and track control systems. Union industrial action extended the closures, causing chaos for commuters. Riders are experiencing packed stations and delays, with some switching to driving despite high gas prices. Sports fans should note transport headaches for Brisbane Broncos vs North Queensland Cowboys and Queensland Reds vs Crusaders games, and the Story Bridge closure for the Tour de France Brisbane event. Translink advises checking apps for updates and building in buffer time to stay ahead of disruptions.
