These are the recommendations for the next 3 years according to the study. Planning and construction must be starting rather soon on these projects for them to be delivered in the required timeframe. Yet how many of these projects are the political parties going to promise us?

2010 - Extra stabling at Caboolture to support 15 min off-peak service.
2012 - 3rd track Lawnton to Petrie (or alternatively slow down services by a further 2-3mins).
