昆士兰州东南地区本月将推出新的火车编号系统，用T1至T6的数字标识取代原有以目的地命名的线路[1]。这一改革意外成为工党反对派和运输倡导者反制执政党LNP推行Elizabeth Line项目的工具。工党运输发言人Bart Mellish表示："希望这意味着理性占上风，Jarrod Bleijie无意义的命名建议永远不会成为现实"[1]。
Elizabeth Line的由来源于Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie在女王伊丽莎白二世去世之际发起的请愿活动，旨在将Cross River Rail以已故君主名字命名[1]。该请愿书收集了约5000个签名，但从未提交议会[1]。运输倡导组织Better Transport Queensland主席Rowan Gray提出质疑，指出Cross River Rail是贯通式干线而非独立线路，不适合单独命名[1]。Cross River Rail计划于2029年开通[1]。
Queensland's southeastern region is set to introduce a new train numbering system this month that replaces destination-based line names with digital designations ranging from T1 to T6 [1]. The shift has prompted opposition politicians and transport advocates to express hope that the new framework will undermine the state government's controversial plan to name a future rail corridor after Queen Elizabeth II [1].
The numbering overhaul comes as Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie has championed renaming the Cross River Rail project—a major infrastructure development scheduled to open in 2029—as the Elizabeth Line, following the late monarch's death [1]. That proposal emerged from a petition launched by Bleijie that gathered approximately 5,000 signatures, though it was never formally submitted to parliament [1]. Labor transport spokesperson Bart Mellish commented that he hopes "this means common sense prevails and Jarrod Bleijie's nonsensical naming proposal will never see the light of day" [1]. Transport advocates have similarly questioned the viability of such a designation, with Better Transport Queensland chairman Rowan Gray noting that Cross River Rail functions as a through trunk line rather than a standalone route, making an independent name logically inappropriate [1]. The government has maintained that the new numbering system will not affect plans for the Elizabeth Line [1].
