Just to let anyone know who would be catching a train from Southside, there's going to be work on the line so people will have to get off the train at Kuraby - bussed to Yeerongpilly and then on the train again.  All this will be adding at least 30 minutes to the journey.   So plan ahead.

Do check your bus/train times just in case.

I live near Ipswich.  I have a previous appointment at Brown's Plains at 2pm.

I thought if I drove to Sunnybank, caught the train to Sth Brissy and back, I could spend almost 2 and 1/2 hours with you guys.  Now it looks like less time.

I'm seriously wondering whether it's worth all this stress trying to plan things so I can spend the maximum time possible with you all only to have QR muck it up with their track work.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm willing to listen.
However, I don't drive in the city as I recently went deaf in one ear and traffic is a bit of a nightmare for me at present.

and many many more.  These are just the main ones
