Trains will run between Brisbane and the Gold Coast every 10 minutes during the 2018 Commonwealth Games next April, Transport Minister Jackie Trad confirmed for the first time on Friday.

“We are aiming for a timetable of about every 10 minutes on the Gold Coast line,” Ms Trad said on Friday.

“And we know there is going to be an enormous transport task of getting people between Brisbane and the Gold Coast for this once-in-a-decade major event in Australia,” she said.

“We want to make sure there is the best public transport system and services available to the people of the region, and tourists and visitors so they can have an enjoyable experience while they are here in Queensland.”
