Trainline 3 is a collaborative compendium between the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and BITRE, providing insights, analysis, and an understanding of the Australian freight and passenger railway industry.
Australia's railways are evolving due to factors within and outside the industry, including changes in bulk and non-bulk logistics, commodity flows, technology, urban rail patronage and regional passenger services. The publication presents an overview and data illustrating these changes in terms of rail tasks performed, characteristics of the railway networks, train operators' rolling stock and aspects of railway performance including safety, environment and reliability.
Trainline 2 is a collaborative report between the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and BITRE. It is a further development of the previous rail freight performance publications series and Trainline 1.
The report provides an overview of freight, urban and non-urban passenger rail. Traffic levels, infrastructure and rolling stock provision and railway performance are considered.
