^ note recent summary is now for 2022 only.

Customer Impact (what passengers actually experience) is not good.

Cleveland line really needs improvements before CRR opens, or another basket case awaits.

Caboolture is the usual poor OTR.

Ferny Grove is sliding down ...

Beenleigh is not good, I think CRR works might be affecting a bit.

Take a bow Springfield, rising to top of the OTR pack in 2022!

QR Citytrain on-time running update - concerns

16th December 2022

Good Morning,

With the recent publication of the Citytrain on-time running (OTR) data for October we have now updated our all lines OTR profiles for the first ten months of 2022.

Full details can be reviewed here > https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=14984.0



Of concern to RAIL Back On Track Members is the continuing very poor OTR for the Caboolture, Cleveland, Ferny Grove and and Beenleigh lines.

Ferny Grove and Cleveland lines will be paired from 2025 with the new SEQ Rail Connect network (https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/About-us/Corporate-information/Publications/SEQ-Rail-Connect ).  The Cleveland line is a single line from Manly to Cleveland and this leads to a loss of reliability, limits frequency and capacity, and causes flow on congestion and disruption effects to wider network.  There needs to be targeted improvements on the section Manly to Cleveland to allow for more trains to run reliably. A single railway on a suburban network in this day and age is an anachronism. It belongs in the 1880s! Political promises to deliver 15 minute trains to Cleveland are nonsense unless some future proofing is done now. We have raised our concerns with the Cleveland line at the Ministerial level.

We have also raised concerns with Queensland Rail about the lack of train turn-back facilities at Shorncliffe. Shorncliffe is at the end of the single line section from Sandgate. The planned upgrade of Shorncliffe Station will still limit the ability to turn-back trains quickly to properly support the new line pair arrangement with the Springfield line and SEQ Rail Connect in 2025 ( https://www.queenslandrail.com.au/inthecommunity/projects/shorncliffe-station-renewal-project-and-accessibility-upgrade ). Shorncliffe needs a second platform in our view to improve train turn-back.

On a happier note, the Springfield line has returned the best line OTR so far for 2022. Well done.



We raise these matters in the spirit of constructive advocacy.

It would be proper and courteous to acknowledge this correspondence and provide feedback on what the planned resolutions will be.
Please do not ignore us.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Robert
