Re: [QLD] Brisbane Airport Railway - baggage handling

["Ross \(Goldie\) Goldspink" <goldicom@powerup.com.au>]

 What are the baggage arrangements going to be?

1. How do you get your baggage to train?
2. How far will you have to drag it?
3. Once on the train, where do you put it?

Interesting travelling on Westrail in Perth recently, almost every train I
travelled on had pushbikes with plenty of room for same.  Ample provision
for wheel chairs, and sideways facing seats signed for disabled/elderly.

The graffiti scratches on the windows (making photography difficult) made me
feel at home!
