Queensland rail commuters felt safer on night trains than their counterparts in other states, new research has revealed.

A survey by consumer research firm Canstar Blue found 57 per cent of Queensland rail commuters felt safe travelling at night, well ahead of New South Wales (50 per cent), Victoria (46 per cent), South Australia (45 per cent) and Western Australia (40 per cent).

Queenslanders also had the lowest rate of witnessing anti-social behaviour on trains, with 45 per cent reporting having witnessed such behaviour.

That compared favourably to NSW (50 per cent), Victoria and SA (49 per cent), and WA (47 per cent).
