Media release 29 September 2013

SEQ: Don't miss the bus, ferry or train!

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 has said we are about to enter a period where there is going to be a lot of changes to the bus network, parts of the rail network, and ferry network.

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"The TransLink bus review for greater south-east Queensland, and changes flagged in the Brisbane Bus review are being further progressively implemented."

"From 14 October 2013 there will be more very significant changes in the Brisbane Transport bus network.  These are well detailed on the TransLink website (1). Regular bus users should be encouraged to check out the planned changes now."

"The Sunshine Coast will have a new bus network (2).  This is to be implemented from late November 2013."

"Ipswich and the Western region will have a number of bus network changes implemented in December 2013 to coincide with the opening of the rail line from Richlands to Springfield Central (3)."

"New rail timetables for sector 2 - namely Ferny Grove, Shorncliffe, Cleveland, Gold Coast and Beenleigh lines are also planned for early 2014, together with a new bus network for the Gold Coast."

"There are  CityCat and ferry timetable changes from 21 October 2013 (4)."

"TransLink have been pro-active in flagging these changes however support from all the media would be appreciated in continuing to highlight these significant public transport network changes."

Re: SEQ: Don't miss the bus, ferry or train!

Greetings,

TransLink have released more detailed information for the proposed public transport transformation for the Gold Coast.

See --> http://translink.com.au/travel-information/service-updates/seq-bus-network-review-2013

Information sessions are listed there and it is important that people engage.

Overall the proposed changes in terms of the core frequent network are very positive.  There is some concern with some of the secondary feeders and span of hours.

Best wishes,
Robert
