Timetable Changes

2 November, 2017 By Ian

On Thursday 9 November 2017, the Gold Coast tram timetable will change.

This change is being made as part of Stage 2 testing, in preparation for passenger services in early 2018.

What to expect:

  • Trams will still run at the same frequency however the time of departure may change slightly.
  • If you catch a connecting bus service, your transfer time may also change.
  • Passengers travelling northbound will still need to exit the tram at Gold Coast University Hospital, as trams will switch to ‘out of service’ mode and continue to Helensvale as part of the testing phase.
  • Southbound services will depart from Gold Coast University Hospital station Platform 2 and will stop all stations to Broadbeach South.

Be sure to plan ahead using translink’s journey planner, checking the tram timetable.

For your safety, please do not attempt to access the Stage 2 platforms or tracks between Helensvale and Gold Coast University Hospital while tram testing occurs. While stations may look complete, these areas are still construction zones.

Trams will not carry passengers north of the Gold Coast University Hospital until passenger operations commence in early 2018.

CPB Contractors have been awarded the $420 million contract to construct Stage 2 of the Gold Coast Light Rail network.

The 7.3km Stage 2 extension will connect the existing light rail system at Gold Coast University Hospital station to heavy rail at Helensvale Railway station.

CPB Contractors have a deadline that all work must be completed by the commencement of the Gold Coast, 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Deputy Premier for Queensland Jackie Trad said:

Stage two will complete the missing link between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and will provide an immediate boost to the construction industry, supporting up to 1000 new construction jobs.

An upbeat Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate was delighted with the result and reiterated Jackie Trad’s words:

Today is another jobs boost for our city, with around 1000 construction jobs expected for stage two.

Work starts next month.
