Better train services right on schedule as drivers sign up
The Marshall Government’s commitment to deliver better services for train passengers is another step closer, with experienced private service provider Keolis Downer Pty Ltd set to operate the Adelaide Metropolitan Passenger Rail Network from the end of this month.
In total, 83 train drivers have accepted an offer of employment with the private provider – with the deadline to accept a formal offer closing at midnight last night. Claims that only a handful of drivers would transfer were never accurate.
Therefore, up to approximately a further 57 train drivers will be made available to Keolis Downer for a period of up to 18 months to ensure passengers continue to have access to all existing services.
