" From 29 July 2019, Queensland Rail will introduce an extra 430 weekly train services across the
South East Queensland (SEQ) network.

We'll also upgrade 59 existing services from three-carriages to six-carriages,
providing a total 200,000 extra seats each week.

Of the 430 extra weekly services, 85 of these will run in peak times when the majority of customers
are travelling and 142 will run on a Friday to deliver a consistent timetable Monday to Friday. "

I followed up with a converstation with the Minister at Kippa-Ring Opening on the 3rd October 2016

The weeds may have been plucked out, but they dropped a few seeds that can re-shoot again.

On page 5, the CRU latest quarterly report, the document focuses on progress towards achieving one of the key recommendations of the Strachan Report, namely the need to strip out three layers of bureaucracy and make QR and 'leaner' organisation.

Here's what the CRU says is happening:

"Queensland Rail considered the appropriateness of implementing lean management beyond the Rollingstock Maintenance division, and determined it not suitable for the whole of business. Aspects such as visual reporting have been adopted,  where relevant."

And it commented:

"The Citytrain Response Unit notes that this is consistent with the agreed approach outlined  in the mid-program review."
So, everyone agrees it is okay that backsliding occurs on this important matter.

The bureaucrats keep their cushy jobs, the layers of bureaucracy remain.
