Transport officials have confirmed the new train station at Hope Island will open to passengers on Monday, May 18.
It’s one of three new train stations for the Gold Coast as part of the Cross River Rail project.
Pimpama station opened in October last year, while work continues on the new station at Merrimac.
The new Hope Island station is located next to Mangrove Jack Park off Hope Island Rd.
The station has been built with accessibility and functionality in mind, with lift access, 210 parking spaces, ‘kiss n ride’ bays, and enhanced accessible boarding points.
To coincide with the opening, there will be minor adjustments to the timetable for train services on the Gold Coast line.
There will also be changes to bus services, including a new 709 route running from Helensvale to Sickle Avenue via Hope Island station.
Routes 711 and 725 will be adjusted to take in the new station.
Commuters are urged to check the Translink website for more details on the changes ahead of the station opening.
