[edit] History

QR ordered 72 new carriages in 2005, 24 of which form the 8 three-car SMUs ordered in response to the increased peak-hour demand on suburban services. It is anticipated that all new trains will be in service by late 2008.

[edit] Operation

The trains are numbered SMU261-268. The trains' body is based on Transperth's B-Series train.

[edit] Timetable

The units will enable increased peak-hour suburban services on the Ferny Grove, Caboolture and Beenleigh Lines
