New Gold Coast stations

Cross River Rail is transforming the way we travel across all of South East Queensland and the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is delivering three new rail stations on the Gold Coast line at Pimpama, Hope Island and Merrimac, to help connect South East Queensland’s growing population.

The new stations will feature:

  • onsite parking and passenger drop-off facilities
  • connections to pedestrian and cycle paths
  • accessible features such as parking, wayfinding signage and platform access
  • integration with the current public transport network and improvements to nearby intersections
  • lighting and CCTV throughout the car park and station
