Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line (was CAMCOS, North Coast Connect)

Given what the LNP's "metro" became anything is possible.

Considering they're the party that thought up the Cleveland Solution, who knows?

I wonder if the LNP are considering building the line with fewer stations to speed up construction times but still keep their promise of getting to Maroochydore by 2032.

Neither side will complete it by 2032, as long as they stick to the current DSCL alignment. Having to build kilometres of tunnels and overpasses, as well as two elevated stations. Even Birtinya is looking more like a stretch-goal than a target.

When the DSCL opens to Caloundra, what should be the name on the destination board? Governments are likely to favour 'Sunshine Coast', but should it just be 'Caloundra'?

What do Gold Coast Line trains show? I honestly can't remember. Is it Gold Coast, or Varsity Lakes? I imagine the Sunshine Coast Line will be similar.

[SilverChased]

Gold Coast trains say Gold Coast line. Destination is shown as Varsity Lakes. Just like Redcliffe line has Kippa-Ring as the destination. Shorncliffe line has Shorncliffe as destination.
Pretty sure the line here would be Sunshine Coast, with Caloundra as the destination when it gets there.

More reasons to extend DSCL terminus to Birtinya in the short term:
