Transport Minister Rachel Nolan has welcomed news that the Cairns Tilt Train service will resume.
Ms Nolan said it had been decided to suspend the service as safety concerns had been raised as part of the on-going investigation of last November’s tilt train crash near Cardwell.
"The Rail Safety Regulator is satisfied that the matters raised in relation to the design and build of the tilt train locomotive have been addressed," Ms Nolan said.
"While the inconvenience caused by the suspension of the Cairns Tilt Train is regretted, the paramount consideration of the government, the Rail Safety Regulator and QR has been to ensure the highest standards of safety.”
