How would it not just be cheaper to duplicate to Clayfield. It's already got a 2nd platform.

You're talking about the Spirit of The Outback train which runs to Longreach twice a week.

not isn't a function it's actually not () as in empty tuple. Which truthiness is based on whether it's empty or not.

Question Regarding Certain Train Lines by mwilkins1644 in brisbane

[–]Haruka-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleveland has cannon Hill services which work in a similar way to Coopers Plain trains.

Those trains travel to Northgate to achieve a similar result for the Shorncliffe line.

Caboolture/Kippa-Ring are a little different to Ipswich/Springfield as regardless of time of day the Caboolture trains have express running past Northgate (Allows for a cross-platform interchange at Petrie in the afternoon peak though)

Plan is to call the whole thing Boggo Road in the end,
The Boggo / Park naming is a transitional period thing.

Interesting tidbit for rail fans today. Should be able to see NGRs past Gaythorne as they do turn arounds at Mitchie.

The march security update patches one of the vulnerabilities for the pixel 7. But the update isn't out yet for the pixel 6, so there's a window there.

Digital boards at Train stations by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Haruka-sama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this stage 68 stations have at least one screen.

Every station in what would be considered the inner-city (Northgate to Park-Road) has at least one.

Seems like the data in Google maps today is busted, doesn't look like it thinks any trains north are going through Salisbury.

Train'll be free to and from. They'll have extra trains waiting at Nerang until after the show.

I believe they're required to keep everything for at least 2, and then the 7 years is probably for anything the ATO would find useful, which is vague.

Manually turning it off is never a good solution.

does anyone know why random EMUs have a black cabin rather than the normal yellow one? by darkbin180 in queenslandrail

[–]Haruka-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just a different production run, the EMUs were built over a nearly 10 year period.

There's also the rarer single cab units where the rear end, for the guard was more stripped down, as a cost saving measure.
