So new bus routes at sunshine coast and an extended gold coast rail? is that right?

Can’t wait till it is finished next year, seeing as it doesn’t take 2 years to validate the system, and that 2029 was just a number Mickelturd made up

The bottleneck is going to shift from the inner city to the inner north as track capacity of the mains will be tested with Redcliffe, Caboolture and Wave services plus the odd through service from Nambour/Gympie. Yes we have heard the espoused wonders of ETC signalling but given it is close to three years since it was rolled out to Shorncliffe with testing every other week, there is a ginormous amount of track still waiting to have it rolled out.

Oh ok, so I guess they aren’t doing the short-long pairings any more?
It had previously been all but publicly confirmed that Gold Coast would pair with Redcliffe and Beenleigh with Caboolture. It got slightly better peak hour utilisation IIRC.
With three northern and two southern lines I guess there’s always an odd man out so maybe it matters less. The number of counter peak trains is only a small fraction of the peak direction ones.

Should be a direct rail link from Sunshine Coast Airport to the Gold Coast Airport.
