SEQ:  Ipswich Rosewood railway gains an important afternoon peak service

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 today's announcement of  additional services between Ipswich and Rosewood in the afternoon peak (1,2).

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"The Ipswich area generally is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland. The railway line is in place, increased train services will further encourage utilisation of public transport and help relieve congestion.  Increased services between Rosewood and Ipswich will also help relieve parking problems around Ipswich itself and further in along the railway line as commuters west of Ipswich will have better options for their journeys."

"More progressive service improvements will be needed in time.  It is pleasing to know that the long afternoon weekday peak gap will be relieved some what, and there will be better options for citizens employed in Ipswich and on the long haul rail commute on the western line."

"Thank you!"
