The Ferny Grove line had no timetable changes, yet every peak morning train is delayed just outside of Bowen Hills for 5-10 mins, waiting for "congestion" to clear or "clearance signals", since the new timetables commenced. QR owes me nearly 2 hours in late arrivals to work in the last 3 weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-41415183620151894362011-06-20T08:38:02.951+10:002011-06-20T08:38:02.951+10:00You are being more optimistic than me.

Although it is interesting that none of those studies mention a 15 minute frequency for Petrie/Caboolture.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315638406178959881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-27797839670251142642011-06-19T11:49:52.469+10:002011-06-19T11:49:52.469+10:00Simon - there have been 3 studies, all commissione...Simon - there have been 3 studies, all commissioned by the Queensland Government (Metropolitan Brisbane Coal Capacity Study, Rail Service and Infrastructure Requirements Study, and Inner City Rail Capacity Study) which have been based around the (pre Cross River Rail) intermediate off-peak scenario - 15 minute off-peak services to Darra, Ferny Grove, Manly, and Kuraby. The latter study assumed implementation in 2010, which was also when QR CRG members were originally told that there would be new timetables in two phases. We've just had the delayed first phase, with the even more delayed second phase due next year.BrizCommuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579844974945172195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-16294024104116531132011-06-18T17:38:49.479+10:002011-06-18T17:38:49.479+10:00Why would you think that the new timetables for th...Why would you think that the new timetables for the other lines would include 15 minutes off peak, given that it only applies on lines which currently have the branching effect now?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315638406178959881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-32727945835383325202011-06-15T00:00:14.597+10:002011-06-15T00:00:14.597+10:00I waited for the 5:34 train to Caboolture.

Amazing the difference a 12 minute wait makes.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401563613826134730noreply@blogger.com
