I think the stadium's new positioning makes the Ekka station a bit more viable. It’s almost in no-man's-land, not ideal, but it’s not terrible. I can understand them being unsure about the need to spend stupendous sums on a new station.- Words: 45

...We totally should have had a nearest-the-pin competition. Think I first had it up in the far north-west corner, then down west of Frogs Hollow, then somewhere near the pin and then directly over the driving range.- Words: 40

The star is where I thought it would go after my last visit a few months ago, I reckon it's going to be a little south of where the strange rabbit thing is.- Words: 33

It seems to be centred on the fairway next to the driving range, not on the driving range itself. It's where I thought looked like the most sensible spot in terms of topography, until I was swayed by talk of it being slightly further west. It's smack bang in the middle of the gully that runs...- Words: 92

I think about 100 meters east of where we thought it might go? Bit closer to the train station and more centrally located between the two bus stations.- Words: 28

2029 is highly likely LNP politicking. Most people seem to think it's likely to be next year, along with a "We brilliantly fast-tracked the delivery" announcement.- Words: 27

Yeah, people seem to think I’m saying that the bus stuff is the best option, not at all. I’m trying to figure out how the hell they think they are going to make it work without a dedicated train station.- Words: 42

Without a dedicated Victoria Park train station, the government will be forced to significantly upgrade the bus stations as part of a patchwork of transport options. The busway will simply have to do a lot of the heavy lifting. I can't see any other realistic alternative to manage that level of...- Words: 53

Yeah, it's no silver bullet; everything has to be optimised. There needs to be a high-capacity walkway down to Gilchrist Avenue and then through to the Exhibition platform. There is currently a windy little bike and pedestrian path that runs under Bowen Bridge Rd, but there is no platform on...- Words: 130

Hand in hand with that, I reckon that no new train station can only mean massive upgrades of the busway stations. I could see big wide plazas built over the busways at QUT and Herston Rd where crowds can pool and move down massive, wide staircases directly to the platforms. Then they run the...- Words: 170

Engineers are amazing. That's a great solution, but I wonder if building it in time would be possible at this stage.- Words: 21
