Queensland Rail has remained tight-lipped about what they will do if their new 18 train fleet is completely pulled off the tracks should the Australian Human Rights Commission deny their application for a discrimination act exemption.
Whilst multiple issues to do with the fleet have already been fixed since mid-2016, wheelchair access to the toilets is yet to be rectified, despite 5 of these new models already being on the tracks.
The issues could take anywhere from 18 to 36 months to fix, but QR will need at least 18 operational trains for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in April.
