Good evening all,

Queensland Rail has told us that the last revenue service for the EMU’s will be this Saturday (the 5th). This has also just now been announced on Channel 9.

[!note] Official Communication from Queensland Rail
EMU59 will make its final journey across the network on Saturday, where the community will have the opportunity to board the train for the last time. We will be releasing a special timetable so customers can plan their journey onboard the train. I will send that timetable through to you in the coming days.

It would be great to have you and any other members of BTQ there on Saturday. We will have a small event at Roma Street where we will be handing out some EMU merchandise while the train is dwelling there so everyone has an opportunity to take photos.

We would love to see members of BTQ there!

Edit: They’ve added a more detailed comment:

EMU59 will be on platform 3 Roma Street station from around 930am if you want to come and snap a pic. The train will leave for its first trip just after 10.30am so plenty of time.

Well, I was kind of hoping they would be around for a wee bit longer. Hope you all have a good day with the EMU send off. :+1:

Unfortunately I’m camping this weekend so no EMU farewell for me, which is a shame considering I don’t think I ever got any photos of them

I also would love to be there, but am off to the Snowflakes in Stanthorpe festival this weekend (seeing as it’s only half an hour away from me :grinning_face:).

Hoping for a great sendoff for the reliable workhorse that defined much of my youth travelling the network (growing up in the '90s and all).

I would have absolutely loved to have come but I am outside of the country, such a shame for me, please make sure you take some good pictures and videos for me.
