The rain may be gone for now, but the flood waters remain high and there’s been extensive damage to our public transport network.
Rail crews have been out on the ground today inspecting train lines and have discovered significant damage to stations, tracks and electric wiring across the city.
“Queensland Rail services will remain suspended tomorrow (Tuesday) and possibly longer, due to extensive damage to the network,” Transport Minister Mark Bailey said.
“A number of station buildings were inundated with water, landslips have damaged the tracks at multiple locations and areas of overhead power line are down.
Some bus services have resumed today and tomorrow a limited number of routes will be running on a Saturday timetable.
“It is good news that some Brisbane buses will resume tomorrow but bus services continue to be disrupted due to rising flood waters and road closures in place,” he said.
“We expect a limited number of buses will be available tomorrow as some flood waters recede, but I urge customers to check the TransLink journey planner for up to date information.”
Ferries on the Brisbane River will remain suspended while river levels are high.
