FF points for catching the train
An interesting article in the SMH claims that QF is looking to buy an Australian rail company. Will we see QP at your local train station and FF points for trips taken to work on the train? I doubt it, but it would be nice 
Lets hope that if QF do go into rail they have more success than the money losing Virgin rail network in the UK

There is talk about the NSW government wanting to get rid of CountryLink but I would not imagine that this is the sort of business QF would be interested in.

Remember QF were also interested in trains some years ago when the talk was all about VFT's (very fast trains) between SYD/CBR/MEL. Everything old is new again.
