The galling thing about this report is that there are missing pages without any explanation. If these are genuine RTI documents, then the censored (or 'redacted' as they like to sugar coat the circumstance) information must be marked and a justification (normally written as a section of the Act) must be provided. This has not been followed.

FOI editors at newsrooms such as 7 Network & News Ltd would be interested in this I'm sure.

Not entirley. Size restraints or the scope of the RTI play part to online public versions. Commercial confidence can also play a part so sections might need approval from other parties before its released to the public. You might have to contact translink to request a copy of the full released version.

It's because this is the RTI it came from:

D10/3305

    Application number: D10/3305
    Date of release: 1 April 2010
    Topic/information requested: All documents from 26 June 1998 to present.
        Changing the frequency of Citytrain services on the Doomben line.
        The upgrading, reopening or any other use of the rail line outbound from Doomben railway station (e.g. Doomben to Eagle Farm station and beyond).
        Planning for infrastructure and services for the Doomben line and beyond (e.g. Eagle Junction to Doomben and to Eagle Farm station and beyond).
        Any land dealings for railway land from Doomben Station to Eagle Farm station and beyond (e.g. changes of tenure, lease of railway land).
    Attachments:
        Various incoming and outgoing correspondence (PDF, 1.41MB)
        Australia Trade Coast Report - Public Transport Study (PDF, 6.35MB)
        Rail and Infrastructure Requirements Study - October 2007 - Doomben pages only (PDF, 1.17MB)
        Rail and Infrastructure Requirements Study - Appendix A - Doomben pages only (PDF, 229KB)

It is the 2nd last attachment. As the RTI was soley about the Doomben line, thats the line they gave the information on. Any other line that happened to have info released on was just a bonus.

Systemwide seem to have an out of proportion focus on the Ferny Grove line.  Perhaps they think it is lower hanging fruit than the Caboolture line?

Look at the compound growth, and you will see why there is a lot of focus on the Ferny Grove Line. (Although TransLink have managed to end growth on most of the rail network recently).

I don't think I can accept that as a reason for it being a higher priority than the Caboolture line, given the base.  You may argue that Ipswich has already had its improvements, even if they are half baked.
