Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail

We're connecting our growing communities with more frequent and reliable train services between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The rail line between Kuraby and Beenleigh is a key capacity bottleneck on the network, where trains share a single track in each direction. During peak periods, all-stop Beenleigh trains need to be held to one side to allow Gold Coast express trains to pass through.

The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project will double the tracks along the 20km corridor between Kuraby and Beenleigh, increasing the rail network capacity and improving reliability of services.

The project will also make it easier for customers to access high frequency rail services through modern station upgrades and improved walking and cycling connections, and improves safety and reduces traffic congestion for local communities through level crossing removals.
