Queensland Rail has reached preliminary agreements with three out of six unions, although train services in south-east Queensland are still limited.

昆士蘭鐵路已與六個工會中的三個達成初步協議，但昆士蘭東南部的列車服務仍然受限。

The current service restrictions were caused by long negotiations that began in January to update six employment contracts affecting about 5,600 staff. After six weeks of intense mediation led by the Fair Work Commission, an initial agreement was reached for staff in Station Operations, Travel and Tourism, and Administrative, Professional and Technical roles. This deal covers roughly 3,500 employees and includes an 8 per cent pay rise over three years, a cost-of-living increase of up to 2.5 per cent, and a special allowance to encourage the completion of major projects. However, these terms must still be approved by the Queensland Rail board and the state government.

目前的服務限制是由於從一月開始，為了更新影響約 5,600 名員工的六份僱傭合約而進行的長期談判。在公平工作委員會領導六週的密集調解後，車站營運、旅遊以及行政、專業和技術職位的員工達成了初步協議。此協議涵蓋約 3,500 名員工，包括三年內加薪 8%、最高 2.5% 的生活成本調整，以及一項鼓勵完成重大項目的特別津貼。然而，這些條款仍須經昆士蘭鐵路董事會及州政府批准。

Despite this progress, significant disruptions continue. The rail network is operating at about 80 per cent capacity, meaning roughly 300 weekday services have been cut. This is due to a combination of ongoing strikes and a large amount of overdue maintenance that has built up since April. While the Rail, Tram and Bus Union recently cancelled some planned strikes to show good faith during a major sporting event, negotiations are still unfinished for the Network, Train Control, and Rollingstock agreements. Management emphasized that the current deals will not immediately bring back the full timetable because of the existing technical maintenance issues.

儘管有所進展，但嚴重中斷的情況依然持續。鐵路網路目前約以 80% 的能力運行，意味著平日約有 300 個班次被取消。這是由於持續的罷工以及自四月以來積壓的大量逾期維修工作共同導致。雖然鐵路、電車和巴士工會最近為了在大型體育賽事期間展現誠意而取消了部分計劃中的罷工，但網路、列車控制和車輛設備協議的談判仍未完成。管理層強調，由於現有的技術維修問題，目前的協議無法立即恢復完整的時刻表。

Train services will remain on a reduced schedule while the company continues to negotiate the remaining three employment agreements.

在公司繼續就剩餘三份僱傭協議進行談判期間，列車服務將維持縮減的時刻表。
