SEQ:  Two more services on the Ipswich railway line welcome

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport commuters has welcomed the addition of two more services to the Ipswich line timetable (1,2).

"From the 4th October an additional afternoon peak service departing Central at 4.28pm for Ipswich will be added to the timetable.  Also a 7.27am morning peak service from Corinda to CBD will be added."

"The new afternoon peak service will greatly assist management of the congestion that often occurs on the 4.35pm service from Central.  The additional morning train will help relieve overcrowding on the longer morning runs in from Ipswich, as passengers inbound from Corinda will have more options."

"We look forward to the promised timetable consultation and further changes and improvements as the Richlands branch line swings into service in 2011 (3)."
