A total of 32 peak-time weekly services will be coming to Redcliffe Peninsula and six other QR lines beginning 13 May 2019.
To help reduce the waiting time for customers in South East Queensland, Queensland Rail is set to add extra train services at times when they are needed most. This means that an extra 14,000 seats will be added during certain peak periods across SEQ.
In response to customer feedback, Queensland Rail analysed patronage data, wait times, and operational efficiencies, and identified 32 priority weekly services which are needed to be added during morning and afternoon peak hours.
Those who will benefit from this initiative are customers on Shorncliffe, Cleveland, Redcliffe Peninsula, Ferny Grove, Springfield, Gold Coast and Airport lines.
