Overview

• A Beenleigh line train carrying about 300 passengers clipped a truck at the Bonemill Road crossing near Runcorn at around 6:55 am, stopping Gold Coast and Beenleigh services.
• Paramedics assessed the truck driver and all passengers with no injuries, and commuters remained onboard until just before 8 am before being transferred to replacement buses.
• Services between Kuraby and Altandi resumed by 9:30 am, although delays of up to 30 minutes continued through the morning peak.
• Travelers criticized Queensland Rail’s incident management and communication, calling the coordination during train-to-bus transfers inadequate.
• Queensland Rail confirmed all crossing equipment was operating and has launched an inquiry into how the truck ended up on the tracks, reflecting safety issues raised in last year’s ATSB review.
