For the last couple of months I have been using active transport to go to and from work on the bicycle and I know there is now more rolling stock and more drivers and staff ...... but.....

Due to work commitments I took the train on Thursday morning from oxley to the city - train was 9 minutes late :( and derwan scale of 4.5 coming into roma street

Today on Friday morning I took the train from oxley to the city - train was 10 minutes late and derwan scale of 4.5 coming into roma street

Both trains were in the peak period where 10 - 15mins frequency is usual.

Tonight caught a train home from roma street to oxley - train was 5 minutes late, Derwan scale of 5 when it arrived at roma street due to the game at suncorp, the whole of carriage 5 was locked off and it was a SM train so the brakes were rubbish and was stuttering to stop at every station to Oxley.

I thought we were doing better with reliability but my last three train trips have proved otherwise and this is with the extrememly padded timetable on the ipswich line which is just about equivalent to what the red rattlers used to work with.

Not a good run at all Mozz.  Train performance overall wasn't the best yesterday.

Still issues to be sorted ...
Half baked projects, have long term consequences ...
