Heading north for the weekend. Toot toot. #QueenslandRail

Underway. The Spirit of Queensland runs 1681 km from Brisbane to Cairns. It's a bit roomier than the normal tilt train. #QueenslandRail

Ticket inspectors between Bowen Hills and Eagle Junction. #QueenslandRail #acab

The #QueenslandRail conditions for carrying a bike on long distance services entirely sucks because:

a) I want to ride to the station.
b) I want to ride from the station.
c) at both ends.

Also I know this is highly specific #Brisbane content for an international audience, but the new temporary Roma Street station makes me feel like I'm in The Matrix. #QueenslandRail

And we're off. Golden hour in autumn. #QueenslandRail #TravelDiary

Somewhat amused that the "sausages with vegetables" I bought transmogrified into "bangers and mash" when they arrived 😅 but I appreciate the hot meal. #QueenslandRail #TravelDiary

A #QueenslandRail #NGR train in #Aboriginal #Australian livery.

Not a great start to me relying on the public transport again in #GoldCoast. The #QueenslandRail train was late because of a track fault, and my bus left, leaving me to wait almost 30 minutes for the next to one.

#Brisbane train users: just was alongside a semi trailer carrying an excavator that struck the Countess St rail bridge near Roma St. Not sure if it got stuck or not - I think it might have! Possible delays tonight. #QueenslandRail #BneTraffic

I love seeing #QueenslandRail staff getting away with exactly the behaviour that #Translink SNOs would fine regular passengers for.
