A 16 per cent increase in public transport funding will be targeted
mainly at railway track maintenance and signalling to boost the
reliability and safety of the network. The Transport Minister, Mr
Scully, said the almost daily disruptions to train services before the

improvements to train, track and new lines to reduce the number of
stoppages and derailments.
