Gold Coast Motorail

The Gold Coast Motorail was an Australian passenger train operated by the Public Transport Commission from March 1973 until February 1990.

It operated from Sydney via the North Coast line to Murwillumbah. It was formed of air-conditioned HUB/RUB sitting carriages along with stainess steel sleepers as well as having a motorail facility. Its headcode was NL3/NL4.

In May 1987, it was renamed the Pacific Coast Motorail. In February 1990 it was replaced by an unnamed XPT service.
