    This is a regular train that just happens to stop at the international and domestic terminals of…read morethe airport. (These are separate stops.) The implication of this is that there's nowhere to stow your suitcase. Bags clogged the aisles or blocked seats as a result. I went during an off-peak time, so it was okay. But if you go when it is busy, this may be a problem. I bought a return ticket at the stand in baggage claim, so there was a bit of a discount. Your "ticket " is not magnetic. When you get on and off, you need to locate the staff member and show them you Airtrain receipt (what I was given to go into the city) or return ticket (which was about the size of a business card). The staff member then lets you in or out. It did take about 20 minutes to downtown, as advertised. If you are going to the Gold Coast, they have an express train, but you have to change trains at Eagle Station. Stations are good at having lifts, but there are other problems. At the airport's domestic terminal, there was a gap between the platform and the train. Worse was Roma Street. It was announced there was a gap, but actually there was quite a step to tackle. One wheel on my suitcase got caught in the metal slats at the train door. Finally someone came to help me; another passenger freed my suitcase and placed it on the platform, then lent me a hand so I could make the step. Msny thanks to that wonderful fellow traveler.

    I always thought Brisbane and Adelaide were similar cities (stick with me QLDer), from its food and…read moredrinking scene to the love of sport and a more laid back attitude. But then last night I landed at the Brisbane airport and thought I was in a parallel universe. You can catch public transport to and from the airport in Brisbane and it takes you to Gold Coast? Well hold your horse and carriage there sir, I'm going to save me some dosh. The train runs every 15 minutes or so and there are both express lines and lines which take every stop. It is clean-ish and has the usual public transport random suspects, but most people are travellers so you don't feel like you stick out like a sore thumb. Ticket staff are helpful at the counter and for $16.50 one way (compared to $50 or so) plus free wifi on the train this is an easy way to get around.

    I guess the name comes more from this station being centrally located than actually being…read moreBrisbane's central station - that title belongs to Roma Street, which is the next stop along. However, as a railway station it is pretty large, and in fact reminds me of some of the European stations that I have visited. Well, the architecture outside is really nice, though I have found that it does happen to be a bit of a maze inside. Still, it is a pretty decent station.

    Let me set something straight away. I love Brisbane! I think it's such a great city, but I will say…read moresomething that it is lacking is a regular, reliable public transport system. Central Train Station is a clear indicator of this. It's a bit embarrassing compared to the likes of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne or Grand Central in Sydney, but it's important to bare in mind that little old Brisbane is just that in terms of population...little. My qualm is that the trains can often be so unreliable and so expensive that people just don't see the point of traveling that way. Central also has a strange layout in the sense that sometimes it's OK to use the subway and sometimes it's not, so finding an entry to the station would be tricky for people who don't know the city very well. Central Train Station definitely succeeds in its purpose...but it doesn't exceed. With a bit of a makeover and a plan for it to be a little more user and tourist friendly, it could be able to make people's commute that touch easier.
