Queensland Parliament Estimates: Rail - Back on Track

[Fares_Fair]

Queensland Hansard
Estimates 2011
14 July, 2011

Ms PALASZCZUK:    This  was   one   issue  out  of  the  whole  timetable  change—the   most
comprehensive overhaul in 15 years. So thank you to all of the staff. I want to thank all of the customers
out there. It has been an overwhelming success. But today I have some good news, and the good news
is that I can announce that there will be further timetable reviews of the train services on the Cleveland
line as well as the Beenleigh, Gold Coast, Doomben, Ferny Grove and Shorncliffe lines as well, and
they will start in November. We will see another comprehensive review. We will go out to the community.
We  will  ask  the  community  for  their  thoughts  and  their  opinions  and  then  we  will  be  able  to  make
changes and, with our additional rolling stock, be able to put new rolling stock onto those services. I
once again want to thank Queensland Rail for their tremendous work. TransLink had their helping hands
out at all of the stations as well to make sure that commuters knew about the new services. I also want
to thank Rail Back on Track for actually raising those issues with us. The correspondence coming into
my office has been overwhelmingly positive. So it has been a huge achievement and it has definitely
been money very well spent.
