On November 11, more than 100 passengers were trapped on a train traveling from Brisbane to Bundaberg after an overhead powerline fault occurred at Gundiah, south of Maryborough, around midnight. The Tilt Train was immobilized for approximately six hours until crews could de-energize the powerlines about 6am, allowing passengers to safely disembark. Passengers were then transported by bus to continue their journey to Bundaberg. Queensland Rail issued refunds and alternative transport options to affected customers, while repair work continued on the faulty lines, disrupting other long-distance and freight services north of Brisbane.
