Yes, we are Running today. Might be wise to pack a raincoat.

It seems there is an event at the BMX track, so parking is best at the Brisbane Bayside State College, on the other side of Wynnum Road. Please use the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights to cross Wynnum Road.

Sunday 1st March was a busy day. With three birthday parties in the morning and one in the afternoon along with other visitors the trains were kept very busy. Five trains kept up with demands trying to keep wait time to a minimum.
We notice quite a few passengers wearing thongs or open sandals when we require closed shoes for safety. Please wear closed shoes next time.

The weather gods were extremely unkind on Sunday 15th February and drizzled all day. Wet tracks mean the train driving wheels sometimes can't get a grip and have trouble climbing the gradients. Also most passengers (and all drivers) prefer not to get wet. Therefore as per a post on Sunday the running day was cancelled.
Hopefully the next public running on Sunday March 1st and Sunday March 15th aren't beset with rain.

G’day all.

Unfortunately, we’ve decided to cancel the running day Today (15th February) due to weather. Sorry about that! Hope to see you again in better weather.

Well the running day on 18th January started well, but the rain had other ideas. With a couple of heavy showers and wind, several trees fell over forcing us to close the track for safety.
But we will be back open again on Sunday 1st February for more rides around and across the bridge. As usual, closed shoes please and yes we accept cash or EFT.
Rides start at 10 am and finish around 4 pm.
If you can't make 1st February we will be running again on Sunday 15th February.
