BRISBANE is facing commuter chaos on Tuesday with central rail lines damaged in severe storms not expected to be repaired until Wednesday.
As the city prepares for flooding which could affect thousands of homes and businesses on Tuesday, the state government has warned that no train services will operate to the central Brisbane stations of Central, Fortitude Valley or Bowen Hills before Wednesday.
Up to 40,000 passengers use the stations during peak times and passengers are being advised to avoid travelling during peak times, use alternative transport, or allow for delays.
"Passengers planning to use trains to the CBD tomorrow should carefully consider their options," Transport Minister Scott Emerson said in a statement on Monday.
"There are unlikely to be sufficient buses available in Brisbane to handle the load if all regular train commuters make the journey to the city at the same time tomorrow."
Scaffolding from a building site in Fortitude Valley has damaged the line between Fortitude Valley and Bowen Hills stations.
Services to the city will terminate at either Roma Street or Albion.
Mr Emerson said crews were working around the clock to repair the damage but they won't finish before Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday just two of the four tracks on the central line will be open.
