Historical QR Projects

It was stated during Estimates by the CEO QR that they have enough trains.

Mr MELLISH: Ms Stapleton, do you have enough rolling stock at present 
to operate Cross River Rail services without the addition of 
65 new train sets to be built at Torbanlea as part of QTMP?


Ms Stapleton: I do not have the exact numbers in front of me but 
from recollection for the preparation timetable, the soft opening 
timetable and then three-car operations the required rolling stock 
was going to increase from 114.5 to 119.5 to 122, roughly. 
Now, Queensland Rail, as I mentioned, has access to 75 NGIs 
as well as 60 six-car sets or 120 three-car sets of its own fleet 
so that is 135 to operate the required timetable.
