For the first time since a driver supply issue affected Brisbane’s train services in 2016, services will continue as normal during the upcoming school holidays.
In October 2016, the opening of the Redcliffe Peninsula Line led to hundreds of services being cancelled due to a shortage of train drivers.
Queensland Rail rolled out school holidays timetables in December 2016 with reduced services in an attempt to combat the driver shortages.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey said recent planning, and assurances by Queensland Rail showed increases in train crew supply meant services could continue as normal these school holidays.
