New tramway/light rail line in Queensland, Australia.

In August of 2014 a new tramway started running through the Gold Coast from the Gold Coast University Hopsital near Southport to Broadbeach, a distance of almost 14 kilometres.

 

I had to wait until this week to visit the Gold Coast and ride the trams, but it was worth the wait. Once I'm home and not faffing around trying to post with an iPad I'll put up some photos, but in the meantime here's a sample. It's my son Harry and his best mate Sebastian with one of the Flexity2 trams at the southern terminus at Broadbeach.

My pleasure. When you do get down there I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's a great little operation.

 

Cheers,

I'm 2 hours away and I haven't even rode on them yet.  Thanks for sharing.

Me too, and I'm even closer.  A couple of friends and I are planning a day down the coast next month to do the trams.

 

My sister-in-law's nephew spent a few weeks driving them but he finished up on Saturday to come back to QR driving the Westlander out of Roma.
