Statement on Magic Round additional services

12/05/2026

Quotes attributable to a Queensland Rail spokesperson:

Queensland Rail can confirm unions have issued notices for protected industrial action specifically targeting Magic Round on Saturday and Sunday. 

Our operations teams are developing plans to minimise the impact on commuters and maximise the number of train services available to footy fans.

We are calling on the unions to pause their protected industrial action, as requested by the Fair Work Commission, while negotiations continue.
