Increased early-morning services for the Gold Coast

Currently, the inbound GC trains run half-hourly until 5:40 am ex VL.

These early-morning trains are getting quite crowded (not this week, but I think that’s network-wide).

I would like to suggest the following 3 new services ex VL 4:25 (15 minutes before current first service), 4:55, and 5:25 am.

One thing I’m not sure if is how these might interact with the XPT. I welcome any thoughts on this, from those with better understanding of how the DG line operates.

Other than that, is there any other issues that would prevent this from happening? Insufficient crew or rolling stock?

Lack of stabling at Robina probably doesn’t help - it’s full at the end of a day. If there will be a stabling component in the new Ormeau facility that would help.
