Media Release 9 July 2007

Brisbane:  Well done QR and Queensland Police.

RAIL ? Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community organisation for the promotion of rail throughout Australia has congratulated Queensland Rail (QR) and the Queensland Police on acting promptly following the discovery of a suspicious package at South Brisbane Railway Station this morning.

Robert Dow said:

?It is important that public safety be the first consideration, despite the disruptions to services when such incidents occur.  The travelling public is grateful for the dedication of our police and rail staff in their quick response to resolve the situation today.?

?RAIL Back On Track however calls for increased staffing of Queensland Rail suburban stations to assist with improved security and commuter safety.  Simply replacing staff with ticket machines is probably going to mean that more disruptions are likely to occur.  A people presence is an important factor in helping to maintain security and support for the travelling public.?
