Thread: Question for the Brissy Boys

2 busses or 2 trains.

Brunsck street station is a relatively short walk from RBH, carbatec is a short walk from cooparroo, you'll have to change trains in the city. It's probably easier than busses. Your probaly looking at about 1/2 hour on the train and that again walking all up ?

try www.whereis.com.au for maps or QR's website for stations and timetables.

Wolffie,
go here to plan your trip. There's a bus stop a few hundred metres up the road from C'tec. Hope all goes well for your appointment.

Dear Wolffie,

According to the No.1 result I got back when using the "Journey Planner" on the right hand side of the Translink website home page (http://www.translink.com.au/), there is a single train that will take you from the Bowen Hills train station (virtually across the road from the Hospital) directly to Coorparoo train station (which from my referdex looks like it's at the northern end of Harries Rd, in which Carbatec are located. To get to them, you'd therefore walk to the south).

So have a go at that "Journey Planner" yourself when you've got a better idea of what time of the day you'll be making the trip. It asks you for street/road names, but I got the 1-train result by just inserting the suburb names, which are "Bowen Hills" for the Hospital end, and "Coorparoo" for the Carbatec end.

If you insert street/road names, you will just get some 2-bus results back, but for what it's worth, at the Hospital end the street name is "Bowen Bridge Road", and at the Carbatec end the street name is "Harries Road".

When you start to get a grasp for what's going on, you can then download the whole daily timetable for the route in question from links that are just to the right of each result. Print them out and insert them into your top pocket before the missus gets her mits on them.

Start thinking about what happens after you leave Carbatec, and do not hesitate to post any more queries.

Best Wishes,
Batpig.

Batpig,
Wolffie is the missus!

I was talking to a nurse the other day who works at the RBH and she says that the brunswick st station is closer. Not intuitive but in fact depending on where in RBH you are it can be. Also the tunnel has made the area around Bowen Hills station a disaster.

Does anyone know if they are still renovating brunswick street ?

Anyway the trains run about every 30 mins and the trip is about 25 mins.

Oi yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi...(Jewish accent...)
that's for sure...

Kind of got thrown by the fact that Eva's nickname for Adolf was (you guessed it) "Wolffie"...
(Couldn't you have called yourself "Wolfette"..? Or howabout "Wolfesse"..?)
You can see that I don't visit "Wood Whispering Women" much...

Thank you guys.
I am going to have a gazillion tests at the eye clinic to se whether they can work out why I am slowly losing my vision.
We leave here on Tuesday, spend Wednesday at the hospital and go back on Thursday.
Wish me luck please.
Wolffie

Good luck Wolffie, hope it goes well.
I do like the sense of priorities though, how can I get to Carbatec?!? Wasn't there a line in a song "Never let a chance go by...!"?

Cheers

You got the Jewish part right.
However, seeing that my last name is Wolff and the Aussies have this quaint habit of adding "ie" or "y" I became Wolffie many moons ago
Guess it is better than my neighbour's nickname. His name is Woods and then became "Splinter"
Cheers
Wolffie

Wot, your a Shelia, bloody hell? Thought I was talking to a bloke, sorry.

Dear Dingo,

That sounds a bit like "The Crying Game" in reverse...

All the best for the eye tests Wolfie(Mrs Wolf).You can also catch a bus from RBH back to Queen Street and then catch a bus that goes to Carindale and alight at Coorparoo,Harries Road is adjacent to the Coorparoo bus stop and Carbatec is about a couple of hundred metres down the road.
Not a Brissie boy but a Marlborough boy.Robert
