True. The motors will be the last to go as a result of the SMU220's.

The format will be - set 301/302 (for example) departs Rocky around 7am
arriving Brisbane 2pm. After a quick provision, it departs around 4pm
arriving Bundy around 7.30pm then stables overnight. Meanwhile, set 303/304
does the opposite, winding up in Rocky to stable at night. Tilt train
servicing facilities are currently under construction at North Bundy and
Gracemere (just west of Rocky).

As stated quite some time ago, these rumours are totally unfounded. There is
NO intention to run railmotors to Helidon. There is however, intention to
electrify beyond Rosewood to at least Grandchester.
