South Brisbane is correct *if* you call it "ONE of the passenger terminals" for the capital city.
Sth BNE was the terminal for [a] South Coast to Tweed Heads [b] Standard gauge to Sydney. At the
same time,  QGR's capital city long distance passenger terminal  existed at Central and/or Roma St,
depending on what year you refer to.  These 3ft 6in track gauge stations serviced greater long
distance country passenger numbers than what arrived from Sydney via Kyogle on the Brisbane Limited
and Brisbane Express.
