I see!

I'm sorry to do this, but I have a lot of questions!!

What benefit will Airtrain get from owning the rolling stock?
Will Airtrain be charging a surcharge on station access only, or will it be
a more general surcharge on the whole service, as if they were a separate
railway network from QR (like a private bus company)?
Has this a term been imposed by the government (that Airtrain must own the
IMUs)?
How will this work on the Airport - Gold Coast services?
Will Airtrain services stop at somewhere like Eagle Junction for
Caboolture/North Coast/Shorncliffe passengers wanting to change?

Thanks!
