Services that skipped stops:

2018  Feb: 50    Mar: 73    Apr:  49

Anyone see a trend here?    
No doubt in my mind due to the focus on OTR by Minister et al of late Queensland Rail are over doing it ...

[#Metro]

Wow, there goes the " but a privatised train operator will skip stations to make its metrics look good like in Melbourne" argument. Clearly the actual issue is what the definition of "performance" is.

Very disappointing to see that the data for ' stations skipped ' and I would assume bridge strikes etc.
is actually already available but not published.  This is more evidence of the non-transparency and 
deliberate campaign of spin and cynical management of bad news that is a feature of the
Transport portfolio, and its feeble upper echelons of over paid, under performing clowns.

I feel sorry for the rank and file to have such mediocre leaders and bureaucrats calling the non-shots. 

There must be growing resentment within the ranks to the mediocrity that permeates the transport space these days.

 Even if the stats coming out are not great, the service contract will likely be signed again anyway. You really have to wonder what the actual purpose of collecting statistics is if QLD Govt will commit to contract renewal no matter what it says. It's such a bizarre way to provide and pay for services - just renew no matter what.
