Big bus at Brisbane

It’s quite difficult to get decent shots of aircraft at the international terminal in Brisbane owing to security, parking and terminal layout issues. However, on one of our free train days last month, I managed to get this shot from the railway station of an Emirates A380-800 parked up at the back of the eastern end of the terminal waiting to operate the nightly service to its home state. Apologies to the enthusiasts, I didn’t capture its registration number. It’ll be on the apps.

 

Brisbane’s second parallel runway will open sometime next year, a massive project in Australian engineering terms that required hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sand to be dredged from Moreton Bay, much of which was returned once the compacting and dewatering process that took several years was completed. That runway is to the left and in front of this shot.
