649 Railbus Timetable

[stephenk]

I took a trip up to Mooloolah and back today, with the return journey being by railbus (which was running late which resulted in an hour+ gap between Go-Card swipes - arrgh!).

Anyway, I noticed that there seems to a mix of all stops and express railbus services, with different stations being skipped depending on which service you are on. The bus I was on is timetabled to skip Beerburrum and Elimbah despite driving past the stations - why not timetable a stop as the bus doesn't exactly have to go on much of a detour? The timetabled journey time between Glass House Mountains and Caboolture was the same on this service as the preceding all stops - so again, why isn't it timetabled to stop? It seems daft that Beerburrum and Elimbah have a 2 hour gap between buses/trains despite 2 buses running express past them during this period.

Does anyone else think there should be a more homogenous railbus timetable on the Sunshine Coast Line?

Sounds reasonable, but more importantly with the duplication they should be able to run more trains and also have faster journey times.

They'd be more of a point to the express buses if they took the freeway, of course.
