Umm, Death to their feeble plans.
There is a positive with rationalising the stopping patterns, but that is all.
We don't need all stop Northgate-Bowen Hills.
Current timetable has 12 trains through Petrie 7am-7:59am. New timetable has 14 + 1 from Nambour. I don't think the 3 extra trains really compensate for needing to pick up most of the 3000 odd people that get on at Albion/Woolowin/Nundah/Toombul. Yes, some of these people are traveling at different times, or will continue to use Shorncliffe line trains. Still, with expected growth combined with these pax, some of which will undoubtedly move over from Shorncliffe trains, it is likely these trains will be too full.
The timetable's assigned platform numbers cannot be done, with the Petrie trains which allegedly will serve Northgate #4, but then are passed by Caboolture trains. (Ok, a minor point as they can use a different platform at Northgate, with the inbound train probably going to Platform #1.
Sorry, but I think the proposed timetable is not much better, if at all, as compared to the current one. And it's a good point that Fiona Simpson makes that commuters are paying a lot more for a service which is not improving.
Does that fall into the category of destructive comments?
