Welcome to Part 2 of Brisbane Cross River Rail Explained. In this video, I'll cover the new Cross River Rail stations at Roma Street, Albert Street, Woolloongabba and Boggo Road.

If you missed part 1, here is a link to it. -    • Brisbane Cross River Rail Explained |...  

I'll start at Roma Street station with its new station entrance and underground platforms. I'll also explain the benefits of Platform Screen doors and geek out on the European Train Control Signalling System (ETCS) that will help trains line up with the doors.

Then to Albert Street where I reveal its two entrances, and give you a virtual station tour.

It's then under the Brisbane River to the new station at Woolloongabba and I'll explain how it's designed to cater for the large crowds that will attend events for the Brisbane Olympics in 2032.

Its then to Boggo Road, which has many vantage points including from platforms, buses and trains. The new Boggo Road Cross River Rail station will become a major interchange with Park Road railway station and Boggo Road busway station, and I finish this video by talking about that in some detail.

Local Brisbane YouTuber Steve provides some additional footage and narration, and you can checkout his channel right here -    / @stevestechandtransit
