    I like that there are plans to extend the Gold Coast line to the Airport but I beleve we can do better and possibly go into northern NSW.

    (This map depicts my idea of were the line should go and would also allow for futher extensions in the future.)

    over all the plans from main roads in my opion are limited and i don't like how it loops around into the airport as it does as that would make any futher extension near impossible. I would also hope if it goes to the airport it would still be accessible with the trams at most hours to make it more of an interchange then a dedicaded one use station.

    Great idea but this would be better off in the suggestions forum where it might get better seen. And more detail like the rolling stock that uses this route.

    This is not a suggestion this route does not exist.
    This idea of mine is building appon a government long term planned extension to an existing line.
