Queensland<\/a> Rail is bringing back nine one-way Bundaberg Tilt Train services per week after they were temporarily suspended for essential maintenance in July 2023.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rockhampton Tilt Train will also return to 15 one-way services per week after it was temporarily reduced to 10 one-way services during the maintenance period.<\/p>\n

Works included extensive maintenance to the\u00a0<\/em>traction and braking systems, carriage couplings and other mechanical improvements.<\/p>\n

Minister for Transport and Main Roads Bart Mellish explained why the works were so important.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafety is Queensland Rail’s number one priority and the works delivered over the last 14-months have bolstered the safety and reliability of the Electric Tilt Train fleet,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s great to see the Bundaberg Tilt Train back on track, connecting thousands of customers between Bundaberg and Brisbane to family and friends, medical appointments, and tourism experiences.”<\/p>\n

While maintenance works were underway, the timetable was supplemented by additional Spirit of Queensland services to offset the reduction in Tilt Train services.<\/p>\n

Queensland Rail CEO Kat Stapleton spoke about the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraging customers to get back onboard the Tilt Trains with bookings for travel from 2 September, now available,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to welcoming back our customers onboa\u200b\u200brd the Tilt Trains.”<\/p>\n

With both the Bundaberg and Rockhampton Tilt Trains returning to their full timetable, the Spirit of Queensland will go back to eight one-way services per week.<\/p>\n

Services will return from 2 September 2024.<\/p>\n
