Quiet carriages in Qld trains
In an Australian-first, Queensland Rail ‘quiet carriages’ will become permanent on every train across the city network following overwhelming customer support during a three-month trial last year.
Transport Minister, Rachel Nolan, said quiet zones on Queensland Rail were not only here to stay but were now doubled with front and back carriages now designated to quiet, calm travel.
“Hundreds of customers have been loud and clear, they want the quiet carriages permanently, and I am pleased to announce they are here to stay,” Ms Nolan said.
“Since the trial began in August, there has been huge interest from right around the country regarding the concept. Queensland is leading the way in providing excellent customer service for the travelling public.”
Customers travelling in the quiet carriages are asked to refrain from having loud conversations, talking on their mobile phone or listening to loud musical devices.
