Flashback: Gold Coast Light Rail:
Flashback to the 2003 Gold Coast Light Rail feasability study
"A Gold Coast network operating hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2032, in time for the Olympics, seems a desirable, affordable and attainable goal."
S.T.A.R. was created this year by a group of southern Gold Coasters, including former world champion surfer Andrew McKinnon. The group insists it is not anti-light rail, but is opposed to Stage 4 going down the coast from Burleigh Heads to the border via the airport.
When the S.T. A.R. idea was put to Transport Minister Mark Bailey on Monday, he said there were "no plans" to switch from light rail to trackless trams.
