5:21am ex-Roma St to Nambour weekday service

[somebody]

What does this service do when it arrives at Nambour?  A 3 minute turnaround to form the 7:46am ex-NBR to Roma St service?  Seems really tight, but it doesn't really have anywhere else to go.

Yes, it forms the 0746 3-car service.

- 5 departures in AM before an arrivals, can they store 5 sets there?

Nambour yard can only 3x 6-car sets.  The other 2 IMUs are stored at Caboolture yard and run dead from Caboolture yard to form the early morning runs.

Yeah, looks a bit tight. I just wrote down all the arrivals and departures for the Nambour terminators and noted a few other things as well

- 5 departures in AM before an arrivals, can they store 5 sets there?
- In total there are 17 arrivals, but there are only 14 departures?

I guess there are 5 southbound dead running trains.

5 if there are 2 northbound dead runners.

From recent memory, The last 2 NBR arrivals in the late evening weekdays dead run back to CAB yard, iirc.  Only to dead run back to NBR early the next morning (except Saturdays where they are stored at CAB yard over the weekend).

This may have changed to 2 other trains, but I'm assuming this is still case.

While QR has plans for a train stabling facility 'within 1km of Nambour Station', the better option would be to have suck a facility at Yandina, where there's plenty of land and a Y-junction.

Yes, it forms the 0746 3-car service.

Thanks petey.
