Which high frequency service for the Gold Coast

[SurfRail]

Which of these corridors should see a baseline 15 minute frequency 6am-9pm (or beyond) first?

Assume the routes are more or less the same as current, except that some would be shortworkings of the current arrangements (eg 706 not continuing south of Southport).  This would be consistent with the eventual implementation of the rapid transit line, to which people need to start getting acclimatised as soon as possible.

Also assume we are ignoring the Gold Coast Highway corridor generally (ie current routes 700/702/703/707/760 + legs of the above routes which traverse the highway such as the 706/709/715), unless there is an efficiency gain to be made.

For instance, personally I am in favour of the 750 being upgraded first, but I would also like to see the 703 withdrawn and the resources invested into more 715s.

Bit of support for the 715 here.

As I mentioned above, you could delete the 703 and use those resources to fund most of the upgrade. The 703 is completely shared by other services, meaning this would simplify the network as well.

If there are still capacity issues on highway before the RTS, you could give the 700 a daytime 15 min frequency.

If this is still the view of the members after a few days, I might craft a draft release.
