Measure West Moreton Mt Isa North Coast Metropolitan 8. Planned Possession That did not start That did not finish within the time scheduled for the relevant Planned Possession in the MTP Number 13 11 63 217 % 59.09 15.49 46.67 47.48 Number 3 26 27 67 % 13.64 36.62 20.00 14.66 (a) AU1 was approved on 11 October 2016. AU1 does not require that this report include comparative information for a quarter prior to the Approval Date. Queensland Rail has elected to include in this report information for the period from 1 July 2016 to the Approval Date (ie.11 October 2016) for comparative purposes. (b) Metropolitan Citytrain services are excluded from the data. The report is designed to provide information about the treatment of third parties on s network (e.g. delays, cancelations, transit times etc.). The exclusion of Citytrain provides greater transparency on how third parties are treated on the Metropolitan. The inclusion of Citytrain with a large volume of services largely running on sections where third parties do not operate (e.g. out to Sandgate) - will distort the results to such an extent that the report would provide no meaningful information relevant to third party coal and freight operators on the Metropolitan. Information on coal and freight services using the Metropolitan is included. Extensive information on Citytrain on-time running and reliability, and safety and security incidents, is published on s website. (c) AU1 is ambiguous as to the inclusion of long distance passenger services for reporting purposes. However, as s previous access undertaking required the inclusion of information on this type of service, has included these services in the report. For these services, has adopted a threshold within which a train service is considered to be on time of 20 minutes. For other services, the time thresholds for on-time running are those required by AU1: 30 minutes for coal services; 60 minutes for bulk mineral (other than coal) services; and 60 minutes for freight services. (d) where a train service is running late on its journey across more than one network (e.g. North Coast, Metropolitan and the West Moreton s, that services is reported as late in each of those networks. (e) a Train Service that has multiple legs, may notionally be considered as one service. (e.g. Coal services on the West Moreton on the Mine to Port and Port to Mine cycle, have three distinct services 1. Toowoomba to Mine, 2. Mine to Port and 3. Port to Toowoomba.) (f) No thresholds are applied to Possession start or finish and so a Planned Possession is considered late if it is one minute late or more. (e.g. If a Safety briefing overlaps the Planned Possession scheduled start by one minute, the Possession is reported as starting late) Public Performance Report Page 5 of 14 24/10/

Comparative Data - First Quarter / and Preceding Four Quarters Commentary: General Comments Significant inclement weather events were experienced during Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 17, including extreme heat and Cyclone Debbie. These weather events impacted these quarters' KPIs in terms of lower on time running and higher cancellations than in previous quarters. It also resulted in an increase in occurrences listed as unallocated because Force Majeure Events are considered neither Above Rail Delays or Below Rail Delays, but are listed as unallocated. Delays were also experienced in these quarters on the West Moreton due to the introduction of asset protection devices which detected some overloaded Train Services which required that the Train Services either lower speeds or detach overloaded wagons. The North Coast Line has higher levels of traffic in Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of each financial year due to sugar season traffic. Services that reach their destination within the allotted time threshold West Moreton : The number of West Moreton Train Services that reached their destination within the Allotted Time Threshold decreased in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 17 compared to previous quarters largely due to the introduction of new asset protection devices at the end of 2016. Restrictions on speeds also applied during those quarters due to the train loads as well as the experiencing washout incidents such as Cyclone Debbie, heat restrictions and increased speed restrictions due to derailment damage to track. These matters contributed to the lower on time running performance for these quarters. The effect of the asset protection devices continued to have effect in Quarter 4 17. However, Quarter 1 /18 saw a return to higher percentage of Train Services reaching their destination within the allotted time threshold as the issues from the previous quarters were largely remedied, as well as there being a change in scheduling at Fisherman islands in Quarter 1 /18, leading to the Train Services being unloaded and departing the port on time, which also resulted in increased on time exiting at the destination. North Coast Line: The North Coast Line has a Burdekin and Mackay sugar season from June to November each year, which sees a significant increase in North Coast Line traffic. There are also some seasonal grain trains during the sugar season. While the total number of Train Services varied between the sugar season and the other quarters, overall the percentage of Train Services that reached their destination within the Allotted Time Threshold remained consistent across the five quarters (i.e. between 74% and 77%). Metropolitan : The number of Metropolitan services that reached their destination within the Allotted Time Threshold decreased during Quarters 2, 3 and 4 17. This was largely due to the same reasons as for the West Moreton. The West Moreton Train Services traverse both the West Moreton and the Metropolitan. Therefore, if something affects a Train Service on the West Moreton (e.g. a Train Service becoming late) the Train Service will generally continue being late on the Metropolitan. However, similar to the West Moreton, during Quarter 1 /18 the Metropolitan saw a return to higher levels of Train Services reaching their destination within the allotted time threshold as the issues from the previous quarters were largely remedied (explained above as well). Services that do not reach their destination on-time West Moreton : The number of Train Services that did not reach their destination within the Allotted Time Threshold in during Quarter 3 17 was affected by the introduction of new asset protection devices and the associated restrictions to Train Service speeds applied to overloaded Train Services, washout incidents, heat restrictions and increased speed restrictions due to derailment damage to track. The matter of overloaded Train Services improved in Quarter 1 /18 which, combined with the introduction of more efficient scheduling at the port, saw this KPI improve in Quarter 1 /18. Transit Time Delays West Moreton : West Moreton : There was a decrease in the incidence of overloaded Train Services in Quarter 1 /18 compared to previous quarters resulting in an improvement in the average above and below rail delays. However, there was an increase in the average unallocated delays due to increased corridor security issues including the effect of protestors on the corridor and an increase in the delays attributable to force majeures. North Coast Line: There was an increase in Transit Time Delays for above rail from an average 9.53 minutes per 100 train kilometres to 12.7 minutes per 100 train kilometres. This was due to an increase in operator rollingstock issues. Total Train Services Mount Isa: Total Train Services decreased on the Mount Isa Line due to the cessation of some Train Services in Quarters 2 and 3 17. North Coast Line: The total number of North Coast Line Train Services decreased in Quarters 3 and 4 17 due to the end of the sugar and grain seasons. The North Coast Line has higher levels of traffic in Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of each financial year due to the sugar season. Cancelled Train Services West Moreton : Train Service cancellations attributable to as railway manager increased in Quarter 1 /18 due to a derailment. Mount Isa: Below Rail Train cancellations increased in Quarter 4 /18 due to planned possessions and an incident on the network. Train cancellations due to an unallocated reason also increased. This was largely due to derailments and an incident at a Mount Isa siding. Temporary Speed Restrictions Temporary Speed Restrictions decreased in all s in Quarter 1 /18. This is due to seasonal reasons as Temporary Speed Restrictions decrease during colder months as the track remains stable. Additionally, overall an increased maintenance focus occurred during this quarter with a particular focus on Temporary Speed Restrictions. Public Performance Report Page 8 of 14 24/10/
Background The performance measures contained in this report, being for the first quarter of the / year, have been prepared in accordance with AU1. All references below are to AU1. Performance Measures Performance Measure 1 Clause 5.1.2(a)(i-ii): On-time Running - Information on the reliability of Train Services that have operated in the subject Quarter This performance measure reports the number and percentage of Train Services that reach their destination ontime, and the number and percentage of Train Services that do not reach their destination on-time, against their scheduled arrival times. Train Services that don't reach their destination on-time include any services terminated during their journey. The measure is reported on a network-by-network basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). The measure also reports the total number of Train Services that ran in each system in a subject quarter. Each Train Service is scheduled to undertake its journey at a specified time. The schedule for all Train Services on a particular day is called the Daily Train Plan (DTP). Where a Train Service arrives after the scheduled time in the DTP, but is within the following on-time thresholds, then that Train Service is reported as being on-time: 30 minutes for coal services; 60 minutes for bulk mineral (other than coal) services; 60 minutes for freight services; and 20 minutes for long distance passenger services. This indicator demonstrates the condition of a Train Service at the completion of its journey and does Performance Measure 2 Clause 5.1.2(a)(iii): Transit Time Delay - Information on the transit time delay against aggregate Train Services that have operated in the subject quarter This performance measure reports the average delay of Train Service. The delays are reported in the following categories: Above Rail Delay, Below Rail Delay and Unallocated Delays and are reported on a network-bynetwork basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). The delays are divided by 100 train kilometres in recognition that a 10 minute delay would be more significant to a short train journey than, for example, a two day train journey. Dividing the delay by 100 train kilometres enables this measure to take account of journey distance. Performance Measure 3 Clause 5.1.2(a)(iv): Train Cancellations - The number and percentage of Train Services cancelled that can be directly attributable to as Railway Manager, an Access Holder or to another reason This performance measure reports the number and percentage of Train Services that are cancelled, separately identifying the cause of the cancellation (i.e. whether it is directly attributable to as Railway Manager, an Access Holder, or to another reason). This performance indicator is reported on a network-bynetwork basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). Performance Measure 4 Clause 5.1.2(a)(v): Safety - The Number of category A major incidents reported to the Safety Regulator in relation to Train Services that operated in the subject Quarter Public Performance Report Page 9 of 14 24/10/
This performance measure reports the number of category A safety incidents in relation to Train Services that were reported to the Safety Regulator during the relevant Quarter. It does not include all safety incidents reportable to the Safety Regulator, but only those directly related to Train Services, reported on a network-bynetwork basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). This measure can also include reported incidents that once investigated, are either; downgraded and are no longer considered a major incident, or have one or more characteristics reclassified In such cases, subsequent Quarterly reports may show prior Quarter results which may vary from previously published Quarterly reports. Performance Measure 5 Clause 5.1.2(a)(vi): Temporary Speed Restrictions - The average percentage and average kilometres of track under temporary speed restrictions in the subject quarter This performance measure reports the average percentage and average kilometres of track by network (excluding the Metropolitan ) under temporary speed restrictions for the relevant quarter. Temporary speed restrictions are put in place to ensure levels of operational safety are maintained during, for example, track maintenance work. Performance Measure 6 Clause 5.1.2(a)(vii): Track Quality - The Overall Track Quality Index for s Below Rail network for each in the subject quarter This index reports on the quality of s track. The lower the indicator, the better the track quality. This performance indicator is reported on a network-by-network basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). The OTCI should only be used as an indicator of abnormality. A single number which is an average over a defined length cannot reflect all the variations within a system. Performance Measure 7 Clause 5.1.2(a)(viii): Complaints - The number of verified written complaints in relation to Access in the subject Quarter The number of written complaints by Access Holders that are verified by (acting reasonably) as correct in connection with any of the following: the Operating Requirements Manual an IRMP any environmental investigation and/or risk management negotiation process or report created during negotiations a Rolling Stock authorisation the application of the Management Principles This performance indicator is reported on a network-by-network basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s). Performance Measure 8 Clause 5.1.2(a)(x): Planned Possessions - The performance of Planned Possessions in the MTP in the subject Quarter This performance measure reports the number of the number and percentage of Planned Possessions that did not start, and the number and percentage of Planned Possessions that did not finish, within the time scheduled for the relevant Planned Possession in the MTP. This performance measure reports on a variety of Train Path information to ascertain utilisation and capacity. It also provides information to determine the impact of planned and unplanned maintenance on the Public Performance Report Page 10 of 14 24/10/
Commentary Clause 5.2.1(a)(ix) Quarterly comparison is to provide an outline as to the cause or causes of any material change in the matters reported under the performance measures relating directly to s operating performance by comparison to the preceding Quarter. This performance indicator is reported on a network-by-network basis (i.e. the West Moreton, Mt Isa, North Coast Line and Metropolitan s).
