Queensland Rail is yet to deny reports that weekend train services in south-east Queensland will be halved to meet demand during the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

Weekend services across the network will be cut from half-hourly to every hour, while the Gold Coast line will run on an accelerated schedule, according to News Corp.

Queensland Rail CEO, Nick Easy, said “Queensland Rail staff will be out across the rail network from this morning, speaking with commuters and assisting them to plan their journey ahead of these changes”.
