The State Government has had to step in to stop Queensland Rail senior managers from sharing $3.6 million in bonuses.
The bonuses were approved by QR on Friday and would have granted bonuses to 380 staffers.
This comes despite earlier advice from Transport Minister Mark Bailey that no bonuses should be paid until QR timetables were restored and services were back to normal.
Mr Bailey said he was furious and issued a joint directive with the Deputy Premiere to reverse the decision.
