As stated by Queensland Rail Head of SEQ Neil Backer:
Safety is Queensland Rail's number one priority, and we are continuing to monitor weather conditions across the rail network as Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches the South East Queensland coast line.
At this stage, timetabled services are continuing to operate, however, should there be any changes, we will keep customers informed via our social media channels, our website and the TransLink Journey Planner.
Queensland Rail is no stranger to the impacts of natural disasters, and our crews are working to prepare and protect the rail network and keep our customers and staff safe.
We have strategically positioned resources like ballast, flood rock, sleepers, and rail stockpiles, and we are actively checking power generators, safely stabling trains at higher grounds and securing boom gates across the network.
We are continuing to keep our long-distance travel train customers, freight and industry partners informed of the potential impacts to the rail network as a result of this weather system.
With more than 150 stations across more than 850 kilometres of track in SEQ, Queensland Rail crews remain ready to respond to any impacts due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
