Stand clear please! Performance data now arriving!

Greetings,

Yesterday in Transport Estimates the Minister for Transport Mr Bailey stated that
" ... I am pleased to advise the committee that the monthly performance and open data
for both Queensland Rail and TransLink will now be published on or around the 10th day of each month.
This practice will start from the publication of the June open data figures in August ... "
( page 11 Hansard Estimates - Transport and Main Roads (Proof)
https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/hansard/2018/2018_07_27_EstimatesTPC.pdf ).

This is very welcome news as some of this data has been up to six months or more late in being published. This will mean that the data will now be only 6 weeks or so behind. We appreciate that some time is needed for collation and processing, and subsequent publishing, so this is an excellent outcome.

Thanks to Minister Bailey for listening, and to the Chair of the Queensland Rail Board Mr Strachan for responding to our concerns about slow publishing of performance data. Thanks to TransLink and Queensland Rail for their committment to future timely publishing.

One small request, can advice be issued via social media when new data is published please? Thank you.

Best wishes,

Robert
