There are now fewer peak direction gaps of more than 15mins, apart from on the annoying different Friday timetable that has gaps of 24mins, 30mins, and even 60 minutes depending on which line you are on. Daytime off-peak frequencies have improved on some lines from 30mins to 15mins, but due to random services axed due to Rail Fail it is not a "turn up and go" service, but a "turn up and hope" service. Weekend and public holiday hourly services are a step back to the 1970s. Overall, Brisbane still has the worst train service in Oceania (even worse than Adelaide and Wellington).

I'd imagine they'd be reducing shorncliffe and doomben, and possibly beenleigh lines, and doing their usual bus-passengers over to another line. I don't remember when they were doing this last, I think it was the shorncliffe line they were bussing pax to the Caboolture lines.<br />It would be hilarous if the entire Sandgate park 'n ride all attempted to board the 'every 40 mins in peak' 310 to the city! what would the virginia depot do in that instance?Yodanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-2110600003480748012018-01-02T11:52:09.595+10:002018-01-02T11:52:09.595+10:00Labor was re-elected for many reasons, but there w...Labor was re-elected for many reasons, but there was one certainty, the Lnp public transport policy was much worse. Our current problems stem all the way back to the Bligh Government, for those who don't know their history.<br /><br />I am of the opinion that the re-election of the Labor government means they will take that as an endorsement of we did a good enough job, so steady as she goes.<br /><br />As for the Comm Games, I think they probably have a fair idea of the timetables, but do not want to release them now because some line or lines are going to get it in the neck. Cue outrage.<br /><br />If a line has to go, then surely it should be Redcliffe for trains and return it to a massively increased bus service, like it was before the line was opened?Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252527246904556251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-76046487772508395702018-01-02T09:59:06.301+10:002018-01-02T09:59:06.301+10:00Rail Fail was caused by a recruitment freeze and d...Rail Fail was caused by a recruitment freeze and driver trainer sackings under the LNP Newman government!
