Re: [QLD] Brisbane Airport Railway

["Royce Columbine" <emmc@bigpond.com>]

Too true!!

Normally when I go to the airport I get the McCafferty's Coach to Brisbane
(defacto public transport between Toowoomba and Brisbane) and then
Coachtrans to the airport, connections are usually lousy with only a 45
minute service, usually departing just before the McCaff bus arrives, so in
most cases I end up at the airport way too early for the flight.

First trains to the airport, then hopefully and upgrade of the Toowoomba
railway and a regular rail service to Brisbane.
