Trains are expected to run on time for the Monday evening commute, with Queensland Rail crews repairing the signalling issue that caused massive delays across the network.
The signalling issue, involving telemetry equipment, occurred at Milton just before 5am and affected all tracks, a Queensland Rail spokeswoman said.
Crews got it back online at 8.20am, but it was too late for morning commuters.
Train users faced delays of up to an hour across the network that stretched well beyond the morning peak.
“Our crews have repaired the signalling issue at Milton and it is not expected to impact customers during this afternoon’s peak,” the QR spokeswoman said.
“Services were suspended between Indooroopilly and Roma Street until 7.20am when they were able to run at restricted speeds, but due to it occurring at a busy inner-city station this had a flow-on effect across the network.”
Ipswich, Springfield, Airport, Caboolture, Cleveland, Doomben, Ferny Grove, Redcliffe Peninsula, Shorncliffe, Sunshine Coast lines were all impacted.
However, some services were still being cancelled this afternoon as a result of the issue.
