Transport Minister Mark Bailey has announced Queensland Rail will add 430 services and 200,000 seats across the network from July 29.

A Queensland public transport crisis began in October 2016 following the opening of the Redcliffe Peninsula Line, which caused the sudden cancellation of train services and an unsustainable reliance on overtime due to a shortage of drivers. 

Mr Bailey says Queensland Rail will be well on its way to 200 drivers by the end of 2019, which is the number required to maintain a reliable timetable, and added he is convinced and confident about the sustainability of the system.
