No doubt that some will e stabled at Robina/Varsety Lakes when the new section opens, I understand that the stabeling capacity there has been increased so that may be part of the answer.
Yeah, but only 5 more 6 car trains. |

Another trip to Maryborough on the weekend.
The road closure into EDI Rail looks permanent (even though they're still using temporary fencing). That makes it harder to see what's coming off the production line. I managed to see a completed IMU 179. There was a single car behind it but it was obscured by 179 so I couldn't see markings.
IMU 178 was in the electric train commissioning area at Maryborough West.
Perhaps IMU 177 has already been delivered.

SMU 280/282 worked 1165 on Friday afternoon.
SMU 262/281 worked 1844 through Cannon Hill this morning, this means all 14 x SMU 260 units from the second order are now in revenue service.

Next order of 28 at 2 a month. Repeat until you run out of suppliers qualified to supply new trains. Train as many new staff including emergency replacement/standby crews. Only stop when you can not physically run any more trains on current infrastructure.

Good to see the IMU's running on lines that require toilets!  |

Obviously there are two points here,
1 They (QR Network) did not want it getting too far away from Mayne in case it broke down under load.
2 That the standards of service on the FG line are such that the length and speed of the journey could leave commuters in need of toilet facilities unlike those Nambour commuters who being much more storic can hold on a little longer.

I also noticed 179 this morning. Good to see more trains with toilets for the Ferny Grove and Doomben Lines. |

I'm in Maryborough at the moment. There was a complete IMU set at EDI Rail with absolutly no markings. (They usually put some on before they complete individual carriages - but this one had nothing!) There was a second set - I think a complete set but it was sitting behind a Perth set so I couldn't see all of it. Another Perth set was at Maryborough station, but that's it for this trip.

I was in Maryborough over the weekend. A completed 284 was sitting outside EDI Rail. A single carriage of 287 was also sitting outside. Nothing at Maryborough or Maryborough West stations.
