May delays thus far ... to SC commuters.

The times reported below do not take into account the 3 minutes and 59 second allowance that QR's service contract to TRANSLink allows.
A Sunshine Coast, Rosewood or Gold Coast train e.g. can be up to 5 minutes and 59 seconds late and is still considered statistically to be 'on-time'.

This does wonders for off-time performance figures.
All times shown below are actual arrival times.

Under my system, early arrival times at destinations are actually subtracted from the TTL (total time lost) figure,
in addition, arrival times less than 2 minutes late are NOT added to these figures.
Only when services are 2 minutes late or more, will the TTL figure increase.

Figures since December 2012 show a significant improvement (i.e. reduction) in the time lost by commuters due to signal faults, electrical faults and delays. Maximum lost time since then was 1 & 3/4 hours in January 2012, least time lost was 1/2 hour in December 2012. The reduction in lost time is very encouraging and the (soon to be) Queensland Rail Transit Authority and State Government are to be congratulated for their efforts to begin to rebuild reliability into the Sunshine Coast / Caboolture lines.

The major factor required to permanently improve the line is rail duplication to Nambour, and, at a cost benefit ratio of 2.285, it's great value for money.
Astonishingly, rail congestion between Caboolture and Nambour was identified as "the major overall impediment" to the ENTIRE 1668 km North Coast Line from Brisbane to Cairns.

Is it more reliable ?
Do these reflect the true on-time performance of our services?
See for yourself by the growing list below;

:thsdo : this symbol denotes a service without toilet facilities, or with 'out of order' toilet facilities.
Re: Toilets; should I forget to check their status, the default has been to always assume that they are working and in order.
This check ONLY applies to the front 3 carriages in the direction of travel.
