There is a loop line in Brizzy already ...Utility Exhibition loop, set
a few stops on the loop. Let trains like Robina train loop around from
Bowen Hill and get back to Gold Coast. Or extend the Corida shuttle all
the way to city(via south Brisbane or Indoorpilly) or let the Doomben
train ru  into the loop. That would take off traffic on Spring Hill area
