More than 150,000 weekly seats will be added to the Ipswich and Caboolture train lines from June 6 in the biggest change to South-East Queensland train timetables in almost 15 years.
Feedback from customer information sessions on the new timetable has been incorporated, with a number of major changes to make services more accommodating to students and for early-bird commuters.
The timetable was finalised after incorporating feedback from extensive community consultation, which saw 10 information sessions, 300,000 flyers handed out to commuters, 2000 pieces of feedback reviewed.
The keys changes to the draft timetable as a result of the customer feedback include:
- Four additional services between Rosewood and Ipswich to better connect with school start and finishing times;
- An additional morning peak service from Petrie stopping all stations to meet passenger demand;
- An additional early-bird service to Caboolture for those starting work early;
- Changes to morning peak services from the Sunshine Coast to better align with work start times; and
- Change to afternoon service to the Sunshine Coast to better align with work finish times.
