More than 100 new weekly passenger train services will be delivered across three South East Queensland (SEQ) train lines this month.
From Monday May 19, more than 45 contra-peak services per week (travelling outbound from the CBD in the morning and inbound in the afternoon) will be added to the Cleveland Line.
More than 40 weekly contra-peak services will also be introduced on the Ferny Grove line.
Doomben line customers will be able to catch a train on Sundays and public holidays for the first time from Sunday, June 1 when hourly services will begin.
Customers are encouraged to visit Translink’s journey planner in advance if they are travelling on the Cleveland, Doomben or Ferny Grove lines once the new services and stopping patterns take effect.
Queensland’s Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said this is an example of the Crisafulli Government making good on its promise of more affordable and frequent public transport.
“This year we delivered on a key election commitment to make 50 cent fares permanent,” he said.
“Now we are delivering more services for South East Queensland to get you home sooner.
“We’re always looking to make it easier and more accessible to catch public transport and we’re pleased to be delivering these improvements for customers.”
