And i think all those late night trains will terminate at bowen hills. Especially since anyone getting off one of those trains will have to get picked up by family/friend or cab/uber. Very few people live within walking distance of the any station served during late night service. <br /><br />No buses or other rail services will be running at those times. last Buz services leave the city around 11:15pmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464220669354759701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-10436733988980353262018-02-05T12:42:49.817+10:002018-02-05T12:42:49.817+10:00I would like to see a later train and improved fre...I would like to see a later train and improved frequency on the Airport Line, but I think there is minimal demand for 24 hour service. Track maintenance is still required.

But i would say having 10 minute frequencies between 10pm and 1am is overkill. Towards brisbane ,10pm-11pm should be 20 minutes frequencies and between 11pm and 1am should be 30 minute frequencies. Doing this would probably mean you could run 30 minute services on the other lines during the weekend. <br /><br />Lets face it, not many people are going to be leaving the gold coast for brisbane at 11pm at night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464220669354759701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-77554067002526361612018-02-05T10:39:20.362+10:002018-02-05T10:39:20.362+10:00Nitpicking a little - but 24 hour service to the G...Nitpicking a little - but 24 hour service to the Gold Coast is way... WAY overdue. The fact that Gold Coast/Airport line is NOT 24 hours now means that very few commuters can travel from the Gold Coast to the Airport to actually catch a flight. This is particularly an issue if you you are able to leave via the Airport "ghost" train and then arrive back at a reasonable time in the evening, only to find out the last train has already left.Philip Leitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575105615763301952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-60019724272789367332018-02-04T21:53:23.004+10:002018-02-04T21:53:23.004+10:00The timetables have been "published" but...The timetables have been "published" but not yet in the old style PDF format...<br /><br />https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/timetables/train/t/gold-coast-line/downward/2018-04-06?pageDirection=Before&pageTo=2157Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-25055218570286593242018-02-04T20:41:08.418+10:002018-02-04T20:41:08.418+10:00Unfortunately the ALP's bedfellow unions have ...Unfortunately the ALP's bedfellow unions have resulted in slow progress in driver recruitment.
