Statement on three car sets

23/04/2026

​STATEMENT TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO A QUEENSLAND RAIL SPOKESPERSON:

​Queensland Rail is advising customers that more three-car sets will operate on the network due to a backlog of routine maintenance caused by union protected industrial action. 

We share your frustrations and understand this is a discomfort for customers, but this is required to run services according to timetable, for as long as possible. 

Should union protected industrial action continue, customers will experience more three-car sets and Queensland Rail may be forced to further downgrade or cancel services. 

We will continue to keep everyone updated as this matter evolves.

ENDS
