[edit] History
QR ordered 72 new carriages in 2005, 24 of which form the 8 three-car SMUs ordered in response to the increased peak-hour demand on suburban services. It is anticipated that all new trains will be in service by late 2008.
[edit] Construction
The units are constructed at EDi-Bombardier's facility in Maryborough, Queensland. In late 2007 the first of these new trains were being delivered and commissioned into service.
[edit] Operation
The trains are numbered SMU261-268. The trains' body is based on Transperth's B-Series train.
[edit] Timetable
The units will enable increased peak-hour suburban services on the Ferny Grove, Caboolture and Beenleigh Lines
