Revision as of 05:19, 28 June 2016

A near-empty station platform of an underground tram station, with passengers standing in the background.
Gold Coast University Hospital, the northern terminus of the system and the only underground tram station in Australia.

There are sixteen stations in the G:link, a light rail system serving the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The system consists of a single 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) line that opened with sixteen initial stations on 20 July 2014. It is operated under contract by Keolis Downer and funded jointly by local, state and federal governments.[1] The system's average daily ridership is 21,000 as of February 2016.[2]

Seven stations are located in Southport, one is in Main Beach, six are in Surfers Paradise, and two are in Broadbeach. Fifteen of the stations are street-level open-air structures featuring passenger canopies, and one is underground making it the only underground tram station in Australia.[3] Ten stations have side platforms and six have an island platform. It takes 33 minutes to travel from one end of the line to the other. Eight of the stations have kiosks, six stations offer transfers to TransLink bus services and none have park and ride lots.[4] Gold Coast University Hospital is the northern terminus of the system, while Broadbeach South is the southern terminus. The most heavily trafficked station is Cavill Avenue, with an average 4,729 daily passengers in February 2016.[2]

In preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, a 7.3-kilometre (4.5 mi) northern extension is scheduled to open in 2018. Three new stations are planned with two in Parkwood and one in Helensvale. The northern terminus of the system will become a stop at Helensvale railway station that will offer transfers to TransLink bus services and to the Gold Coast railway line. All of the new stations will be at street-level. One new station will have side platforms and two will have an island platform. The new extension will add 11 minutes to the total travel time. Two of the new stations will have free park and ride lots with a total of 1,400 new parking spaces.[5][6] Following public consultation, a 20.5-kilometre (12.7 mi) southern extension that will terminate at the Gold Coast Airport is in the planning stages.[7]
