Pardon Our Progress the Tyranny of Track Closures

摘要

Think back if you will to the so-called good old days when 'maintenance windows' rarely disrupted suburban public train services. How things have changed, including on the QR, which has embraced the concept of total track closures strongly to its corporate bosom. In an organisation with a strong preference for infrastructure works over more practical solutions to declining rail passenger patronage in SEQ, it now subjects its customers to regular track closures and bus service replacements.
