Steam Ironing:

Increase 610 to every 15 minutes 7 days (varying trading hours Weekdays and Weekends.  Also steam iron the 610 by removing the Woombye diversion.  The Woombye service would be covered by my proposed 638 hourly service from Nambour covering Palmwoods and Woombye.

630 becomes the main express TrainLink route from Nambour Station to Noosa Heads.  631 becomes a half-hourly local route.

Core Frequent Network

600 - Standardise timetable (every 15 mins 5am-10:10pm - 7 days a week, Friday-Saturday nights: every half hour from 10:10pm-12:10am, then every hour from 12:10am to 3:10am.

610 - Every 15 minutes Mon-Sat (5:30am-7pm, then every half hour from 7pm to 9:30pm). Sunday - Every 15 mins (6am to 5:30pm, then every half hour 5:30 to 8:30pm).

620 - Increase from every 30 minutes to every 15 mins 7 days a week. (every 15 mins 5am-10:10pm, Friday-Saturday nights: every half hour from 10:10pm-12:10am, then every hour from 12:10am to 3:10am).

626/627 - Merge both routes, Mon-Fri every 15 mins (6am - 7pm, then every half-hour to 9pm), Weekends Sat/Sun - every 15 mins (6am - 5:30pm, then every half hour 5:30pm to 9pm).

NON CFN

601/602 - See my previous proposal on this in the earlier thread (including 602 diversion).

630/631 - 630 is the steam ironed TrainLink route to Noosa Heads.  631 becomes a half-hourly local route operating 7 days (6am - 8pm).

I think we should maintain a little library of "base" images like the one Gazza has helpfully prepared for the Gold Coast, so we can tweak and adjust things like this, or create little extracts to append to releases...

Slightly OT, but does anybody know the site (or part of google) where you can draw the route.  I'm considering using part of my time to create the Sunshine Coast bus network equivalent.

Found this in another of your posts Arnz, please go for it if you have the time.
As a RBoT representative I'd like to pursue this or raise discussions with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and TransLink.

You can use council's interactive mapping site MyMaps http://maps.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/MyMaps/

You can create/save pdfs and images plus save the actual lines and points that you draw (I can't remember if you can send/email them to others to load).

It has many more different layers than google maps including bus stops.
