I'm not sure what you're getting at Andrew.

Point 1

The Tilt train is not in service as yet. It is still undergoing trials.

Point 2

The Spirit of Capricorn (normal electric ICE trains) run daily plus a
Wednesday night service. Leaves Brisbane 8.25 a.m. each day arriving Rocky
5.50.pm. The night train leaves 8.25 pm.

Trains only run to Gympie North (not Gympie- Bus into town). That is part of
the normal extended suburban network and can have oridaryt EMUs working the
service, but usually with ICE set as well. The Spirit is always ICE sets.
