This compendium provides insights, analysis, and an understanding of the railway industry. Australia's railways are evolving, with changes both outside and within the industry. These changes include logistics, commodity flows, technology, urban patronage, and regional passenger services. The publication presents an overview and data on railway transport tasks performed; characteristics of the railways and train operators' rolling stock that runs; and aspects of railway performance, including safety, environment and reliability.

Trainline 12 gives an overview of freight, urban and non-urban passenger rail. The report analyses traffic levels, the provision of infrastructure and rolling stock, and railway performance. It is the twelfth in the publication series.

This is the latest in a series of BITRE reports that provide information on Australian sea freight movements, vessel activity, the use of coastal trading licences and the size and composition of the Australian trading fleet.

The latest import and export data has been made available in machine readable form on the National Freight Data catalogue.

Trainline is a compendium of Australia's railways, providing insights, analysis and an understanding of the railway industry. Australia's railways are evolving, with changes within and outside the industry. These changes include logistics, commodity flows, technology, urban patronage and regional passenger services. The publication presents an overview and data on railway transport tasks performed; characteristics of the railways and train operators' rolling stock that runs; and aspects of railway performance including safety, environment and reliability.

Trainline 11 gives an overview of freight, urban and non-urban passenger rail. The report analyses traffic levels, the provision of infrastructure and rolling stock, and railway performance. It is the eleventh in the publication series.

This publication is the fifth in an annual series that uses vehicle telematics data to provide measures of traffic congestion for freight vehicles on selected routes across Australia’s five mainland state capital cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth – and, for the first time, two additional routes in Hobart. The selected routes comprise the major motorways, highways and arterial roads within each city that service both passenger and freight vehicles. This release includes congestion measures for 73 separate routes. The estimates presented in this report cover calendar year 2023.

This is the second year, since the initial report in 2019, where none of Australia’s capital cities experienced major lockdowns as part of the COVID-19 pandemic, and city-wide congestion levels have more or less returned to pre-pandemic levels. City-wide freight vehicle congestion, as measured by the mean excess travel time index, increased (worsened) slightly in Perth, remained more or less unchanged in Brisbane, and declined (improved) in the Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide between 2022 and 2023. Copies of the summary measure data displayed in the report are also available here.

Aviation plays a key role in Australia’s transport system, providing regular scheduled services between Australia's highly dispersed major population centres and vital connectivity for rural and remote communities. As a large island nation, located significant distances from our nearest neighbours, aviation is also the primary means of access for international visitors and for domestic residents travelling overseas.

This report presents long-term forecasts of Australian commercial air passenger and freight activity, and forecasts of air passenger numbers through Australia’s 14 busiest airports / air catchments – i.e. Australia’s eight capital cities and six busiest non-capital city airports – and air freight volumes through Australia’s mainland state capital city airports. The forecasts are based on econometric models of Australian domestic and international air passenger and air freight demand, and the most recent long-term economic outlooks for Australia and developed and major developing countries. The forecasts are intended to help inform long-term Australian aviation policy development and planning.
