Major delays to Brisbane trains today due to power failure near Fortitude Valley. By 7 pm when I travelled trains were running but not to any known timetable.
Departure screens at Fort. Valley, Central and Roma St all blank with only 2 platforms open and departures announced by PA. I guess they are doing their best.
For once, I’m glad I’m travelling by bus!

One of the problems with exercising and losing some superfluous padding is that bus rides are becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Time for better bus seats and suspension please!

6:30 am in Brisbane and it’s 5 degrees. I am not riding my bike today. I’m getting soft in my old age. Luckily, I have a bus with heating

They are rarely on time, uncomfortable when they do arrive and I’m paying about $150 per month for the privilege.
I actually found myself yesterday wishing my employer was in the burbs so I could drive to work!

Up on the Sunshine Coast for the weekend. My goodness it’s chilly! About 10 deg C outside last night and the house has no heating. Brr!

I have made a resolution to get to the gym every morning before work this week and see if I can make a habit of it.
I have dug out my ipod so that should make the Fitness First environment slightly less intolerable:-)

I have just noticed that there are no ‘next train’ indicators on the platforms at South Brisbane station. I know there used to be dot matrix displays. I wonder when they disappeared.
In a more positive vein, there are timetables for all lines posted outside the station. I don’t think any other city station has this.

The stuff they play over the PA at Fitness First is truly horrible. I just can’t blank it out. I swear I would work out more often is they just turned it off!
