Starting with mid next year (2016), Queensland Rail will start the major overhaul of the Rockhampton and Bundaberg Tilt Trains. The work will involve the mid-life overhaul of the two trains including upgrades to key mechanical, electrical and control components and internal refurbishments.
“The Bundaberg and Rockhampton Tilt Trains, which travel between Brisbane and Rockhampton, are among the most popular trains in Queensland Rail’s long distance fleet. Annually, the trains travel approximately 350,000km to connect these communities and have travelled more than five million kilometres since their introduction in 1998. This overhaul will ensure the trains continue to perform safely and reliably, and will also extend the serviceable life of the rollingstock,” Queensland Rail Executive General Manager Travel and Tourist Martin Ryan said.
