SEQ: Extended hours on train means you can catch that plane!

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport passengers enthusiastically welcomes extended Airtrain operating hours which begin tomorrow!

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"There has been plenty of controversy in the media over the years about Airtrain service operating hours and the billions mis-spent on unsustainable high-pollution and high-cost road upgrades and other car-centric infrastructure in and around Brisbane Airport."

"RAIL Back On Track therefore is glad that tomorrow, Airtrain operating hours will be expanded until 10 pm daily. We, on behalf of Brisbane commuters applaud Airtrain for this service improvement. In conjunction with complementary improvements to the high frequency BUZ network earlier this year, much of Brisbane can now get a train from the Brisbane Airport and get home on public transport, even during the late hours of the night."

"The last rail service to Varsity Lakes and the City will depart from the Domestic Airport at 9.59 pm and the International Airport at 10.02pm. With extended hours, people can catch a late night train and make the plane!"
