AWS SPAD in Brisbane QLD

G'day,
I have always wondered why the QR did not extend the ATP that was introduced on the North Coast line down into the Brissy Metrop.
Only AWS exists in the Brissy Metrop.
The ATSB has published the final report into an AWS SPAD which occurred on 12 oct 2017 at Petrie suburb.
Petrie was once the northern terminus for the Brissy suburban system.
That was extended to Caboolture to the north of Petrie.
The report makes for interesting reading due to the lack of memory about the AWS by the driver.
Much like automatic response to the vigilance system on locomotives.
Hence the random vigo subsequently introduced here in NSW after the Beresfield prang.
