TOP TABLE TALK At last – A system-wide Timetable for QR Traveltrain by Albert Isaacs 2008 saw the reintroduction of a system-wide QR TT for their country services that have been, for many years, marketed as Traveltrain. This is significant because there has not been a full country Queensland TT since 31 July 1990 and that was an aberationary, single issue to commemorate the 125 th anniversary of QR.

    Hansard 20 June 2002

    20 Jun 2002 Legislative Assembly 2025 THURSDAY, 20 JUNE 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Ministers, Allegations of Bullying Mr JOHNSON (Gregory—NPA) (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. On Tuesday, the Premier came into this House and vilified everyone known to man in a futile attempt to draw attention away from the fact that according to the Queensland Public Sector Union his front bench is staffed with bullies. The Premier said that he did not believe in rumours, but he then proceeded to deliberately publish invented slurs in this place. I will not shrink from the Premier's false rumours. I will not sink to the Premier's level and follow his three- card trick, where he hides behind his dog and, on this occasion, his wife and formerly his brother. In parliament this week— Mr SPEAKER: Order! This does not sound like a point of privilege to me. Mr BEATTIE: I rise on a matter of privilege. I find those comments offensive. I am happy to defend my wife anywhere, and I ask for them to be withdrawn. Mr JOHNSON: I withdraw. In parliament this week we have seen a Premier that we have not been accustomed to over the last few years. Mr SPEAKER: Order! What is the member's point of privilege? This is more like a debate. Mr JOHNSON: My point of privilege is this: that my name was denigrated in this parliament this week by false accusations and a fabrication of the facts about when I was Minister for Transport.

At Queensland Rail, we strive to promote accessibility for all members of the community. We do this by working with our customers to remove barriers and pioneer solutions that support inclusive communities. Whether you are an older adult; have a disability; or are travelling with children, a pram or luggage, we take pride in providing rail services that are equitable, dignified and comfortable for all. This plan outlines our achievements and future steps towards this goal. As a quick snapshot, last year we were pleased to announce two new, independently accessible stations Springfield Central and Springfield. We also delivered full station upgrades at Narangba and Sandgate stations. All of these stations now contain accessible paths of travel, including lifts and ramps, accessible unisex toilets, hearing loops, braille signs, tactile ground surface indicators and accessible parking. For our customers at Graceville, Newmarket, Alderley and Dinmore, new station designs are delivering higher levels of safety, security and comfort.
  • The Art of Train Timetabling

    The Art of Train Timetabling

    AUSTRALASIAN TIMETABLE NEWS No. 241, September 2012 ISBN 1038-3697 RRP $4.95 Published by the Australian Association of Timetable Collectors www.aattc.org.au THE ART OF TRAIN TIMETABLING Report by Malcolm Cluett of talks by Craig Sparrius & Anthony Giles, both from Transport for NSW, at the August meeting of the Railway Technical Society of Australasia, NSW Chapter. Reproduced by permission - and with thanks - from the RTSA, NSW Newsletter, September 2012. The two speakers spoke on slightly different topics – Craig concentrated on comparisons between Sydney’s railways and those in other Australian cities. Anthony spoke on the technicalities of producing a railway timetable. Craig’s background is from Melbourne. Rail networks in Australia were developed 100 years ago. They would be different if they were developed now as part of a planned city. CityRail operates under two disadvantages compares with systems overseas – Sydney has lower overall population density than other cities and motor vehicle ownership is relatively high. However, the population density is higher in the inner suburbs. Two other characteristics of Sydney are that the stations are relatively close together, and there is a lot of trackage and associated infrastructure for the number of people carried. In Sydney and Melbourne, the average distance between stations is 1.7km, but on the Long Island RR the spacing is 4.2km. In Sydney, intercity trains do a lot of passenger carrying in the suburban areas. Rail usage Melbourne is growing rapidly, driven by population growth in the outer suburbs and extensions to the electrified area. The state of the rail tracks in Victoria is inferior to that in the Sydney area, with mostly wooden sleepers.
