From your link
“Each of the new SMU260 series three-carriage trains being released on the network will provide seating capacity for an additional 750 passengers.
“Once all 44 trains are in service, it will create 30,000 additional seats for customers per day, representing a 30% increase in QR’s fleet,” she said.
"customers" fair enough.....but could also be read as 'detainees'.....I mean how many people are there in that regions population? 30,000 EVERY DAY seems like an awful lot of extra commuters

Interesting. So a previous poster (Page 1 13th Zodiac) who lives 5 minutes from this railyard said this
"They are planning and preparing here as the once great Gold Coast now has both the highest cost of living and unemployment."
So why the population boom when there are no jobs?
