Operations
In the early 1970s Hobart railway station saw more than 70 trains a day coming and going. Today that number is 2 or 3, all reduced to a single track with 10–15 km minimum distance between trains.
The demise of the TGR in 1978 also saw the cessation of passenger operations; the last service ran on 28 July.
