The government says Brisbane’s newest rail line will not be ready for passengers until 2029, billions over budget, but have refused to outline key details.
The previous Labor government had promised Cross River Rail would be delivered with a budget of $5.4 billion, with most construction finished by 2025 and passenger services starting in 2026.
Jfc. I thought it was meant to open next year and was almost complete. How are our governments so bad at this shit?

very confusing because the lnp are saying 2 years to certify it so 2029, but the certifications office said nope, you do that not us
so 2029 - 2 = 2027 eta but maybe the lnp are adding in extra years just in case? they’re definitely lying to us i’m just not sure how
Last I heard from someone who works on it, they were aiming for March '26
