@QueenslandRail Thanks!

@Robert_Dow Hi Robert, that’s correct. The Exhibition shuttle is being provided to give customers an alternative travel option into Bowen Hills and Fortitude Valley during the inner‑city closure.

Good Morning @QueenslandRail I have noticed Roma St - Exhibition trains are running for the next three days. Is it just to provide some alternate rail during the closure? Just interested, thanks.

Looks like a lot of parcels packed in Australia Post ULD’s ? - lots of Xmas presents that are going to be late ? - an Australia Post contract driver ?

@railmaps Yes, I bet this will give impetus to further litigations. All projects might be targets now, be they rail or road, busways, transit lanes, active transport corridors. It goes on and on sadly.
