Reported service disruptions rail - no longer in use

[Fares_Fair]

The last "open FOI" report had Shorncliffe 'beat' Sunshine Coast in regards to most late running trains.

Thanks Arnz,

I include the Caboolture line also since it is a part of a Sunshine Coaster's travel pattern anyway and SC commuters are impacted by delays along the full length of the line.
I obviously pay particular attention to the single line section of track as well but that has been made difficult by 3 recent examples of non-disclosure of incidents or late services by QR/TL that have me wondering ...

Regards,
Fares_Fair.

2012 has gotten off to a really bad start network wise IMHO.
Delays everywhere in just the first week of commuters returning from holidays ... I return this Monday.

Is 2012: Year of the Track Fault ?
Let's hope not.
