This is a free timetable leaflet distributed in express train and has information about the departure, arrival time of the train and connecting services. For many years the “Kursbuch Gesamtausgabe” ("complete timetable"), a very thick timetable book, was published but its contents are now available on the Deutsche Bahn website [ 9 ] and CD ROM.
When the line reached Hughenden in 1887, the journey by mixed train from Townsville took 12 hours 45 minutes. When the line was extended to Winton, 3 mail trains per week ran, taking 17 hours. When the Hughenden-Cloncurry line opened, the mail train took that route and Winton service became a sleeper attached to the connecting train.
From 1911, some 100 kilometres of the line was surveyed from Malbon to Sulieman's Creek near Dajarra where it would connect to the proposed inland route. Construction of a 58 kilometre section to the Duchess copper mine began in 1911. Copper was discovered there in 1897 and the Queensland Railways Department adopted Duchess as the station name.
A weekly train service sufficed after copper prices slumped in the 1920s. The Oona to Mount Cuthbert section closed on 8 December 1949, and the Kajabbi to Dobbyn section closed on 1 July 1961. Beef cattle were railed from Kajabbi and Koolamarra to Cloncurry but, as road transport gradually took over, that service ceased in the late 1980s.
From 11 December 2021 onwards, Greyhound Australia will once more be servicing the intercity routes it lost on 31 December 2014 to Bus Queensland Toowoomba. [citation needed] Brisbane to Mount Isa via Toowoomba, Roma, Charleville, Augathella, Blackall, Longreach, Winton and Cloncurry
The new terminus opened on 13 May 1837, the first train being a special with D&KR directors and friends. [ 4 ] [ b ] The original station building was an apparently insufficient Station House and Parcel Office and in 1840 the D&KR resolved to replace it, [ 5 ] [ c ] hiring J. S. Mulvaney as designer.

All the above-mentioned train or bus routes except Warrington and Outram continue to be served by the present bus system. In early times, there were ferries connecting the central city to Port Chalmers and Portobello , but these ceased between the 1930s and 2018 as road connections along the harbour's edge were improved.
Bus Éireann and Ulsterbus took over some of the routes, having ensured transportation after the 2014 Easter holidays for the 2,000 schoolchildren who previously depended upon Lough Swilly services. [16] [17] The last bus services operated on the evening of Saturday 19 April. Some of the routes have been maintained by other operators. [18]
