Queensland Rail will add 32 weekly services to Shorncliffe, Redcliffe Peninsula, and five other lines during peak times, which means an additional 14,000 seats for customers in Northgate and across SEQ.
Beginning 13 May 2019, customers of Queensland Rail in South East Queensland can expect less waiting time as extra train services will be added Shorncliffe, Cleveland, Redcliffe Peninsula, Ferny Grove, Springfield, Gold Coast and Airport lines.
The initiative was Queensland Rail’s response to widespread customer feedback. After analyzing patronage data, wait times, and operational efficiencies, 32 priority weekly services were identified which will be added during morning and afternoon peak hours.
