Want to have a sneak peek at Queensland’s new train fleet?
The Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP) will build 65 new six-car passenger trains at a purpose-built manufacturing facility at Torbanlea, in the Fraser Coast region. The mock up train tour will take place in Geebung (Brisbane).
In June 2023, Downer was awarded the contract by the Queensland Government to deliver QTMP. As part of this contract, a state-of-the-art train ‘mock-up’ has been delivered to Brisbane.
The 46-metre-long high-fidelity model, including driver’s cab and two cars, was built by Allweld Manufacturing and provides an overview of the interior of the QTMP trains.
A low fidelity mock-up was utilised for months of testing as part of a co-design process by members of the disability sector, train drivers and passengers, and bike users
The high-fidelity mock-up incorporates the feedback coming from this and ensures the QTMP fleet will be the most accessible in Australia.
