A rail lobby group says running trains along the North West Transport Corridor would provide flexibility on the North Coast Line to run fast trains to the Sunshine Coast.
Trains – not cars – should run along Brisbane’s proposed underground North West Transport Corridor by 2031, a rail lobby group believes.
“Those fast trains going out to Maroochydore could run through a rail tunnel underneath the North West Transport Corridor, back onto the main northern line – about Strathpine – and then from there all the way to Beerwah,” he said. “For rail to be dismissed for a six-lane motorway, with suggestions that we might have rail maybe by 2041 if you are lucky, is just not what it is about for south-east Queensland,” Dow said.
