In Australia you do not need Al_Qaeda and all the terrorists. The terrorists are already inside Queensland Rail. When you buy a ticket at a rail station for the AIRTRAIN, this ticket becomes invalid 2 hours later. Some friend of mine wanted to catch the AIRTRAIN from the Golsdcoast (Australia) to the Brisbane Airport. At 8am in the morning we went to purchse our tickets for the afternoon. We were told by the QR station manager if we do that our ticket will be invalid by 4pm when we intended to catch our train for International flght out side of Brisbane. Queensland Rail ingenieur for the Brisbane Airtrain a bunch of $ %&&899(. I complained to Queensland rail 07 3235 3580 07 3235 3861 07 3235 3617 07 3606 5555 Do not bother to travel by Brisbane City train, still not in the 21 century. If you want to dislike Australia, travel by Queensland Rail George

In Spain a pretty-much empty ticket office said they couldn't sell me a ticket in the evening for travel the next morning, instead I'd have to come back just before departure time and join the queue. They seemed to think the idea of buying ahead to take advantage of the lack of queue was a really bizarre thing to do. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK

Queensland Rail is not responsible for ticketing on suburban trains. Fares and ticket conditions are set by Translink - QR just run the trains. Also, Airtrain is a private operation and is not QR or Translink - they set their own fares and conditions. So you should complain to Translink (http://www.translink.com.au/qt/TransLin.nsf/index/contactus) and Airtrain (http://www.airtrain.com.au/contactus.php). <gnh888@gmail.com> wrote in message news:72f35d11-2152-4b61-a4aa-bd3685fe16aa@s33g2000pri.googlegroups.com... > In Australia you do not need Al_Qaeda and all the terrorists. > > The terrorists are already inside Queensland Rail. > > When you buy a ticket at a rail station for the AIRTRAIN, this ticket > becomes invalid 2 hours later. > > Some friend of mine wanted to catch the AIRTRAIN from the Golsdcoast > (Australia) > to the Brisbane Airport. > > At 8am in the morning we went to purchse our tickets for the > afternoon. > > We were told by the QR station manager if we do that our ticket will > be invalid by 4pm when we intended to catch our train for > International flght out side of Brisbane. > > Queensland Rail ingenieur for the Brisbane Airtrain a bunch of $ > %&&899(. > > I complained to Queensland rail > 07 3235 3580 > 07 3235 3861 > 07 3235 3617 > 07 3606 5555 > > Do not bother to travel by Brisbane City train, still not in the 21 > century. > > If you want to dislike Australia, travel by Queensland Rail > > George > > > >

Not quite. Off peak return tickets are valid from 09:00 until 04:00 the next morning. -- --- If at first you don't succeed, you can always emulate me. --- David Johnson usenet.at.trainman.id.au http://www.trainman.id.au ------------------------------------ These comments are made in a private capacity and do not represent the official view of RailCorp.
