Media Release 25 September 2009

SEQ:  Western Brisbane Transport Network Strategy

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 public release of the Western Brisbane Transport Network Strategy (1).

Robert Dow, spokesperson for RAIL Back On Track said:

"We welcome recognition of the fact that rail is the backbone of the plan. The neglect of rail for a long period is the fundamental reason that we have a less than an optimal public transport system today."

"Rail can and will give the capacity needed for the future line transport needs in south-east Queensland.  Augmented by bus, light rail and active transport options, there is a sustainable transport future outlined in this plan."

"A plan is nothing however unless it is actioned and turned into reality."
