Nope - only the one to Brisbane - there is one a day to Murwillumbah, with
coach connections to Brisbane though.

They can always put more buses on - they can't (or won't) with trains.
Although the coach companies have only a limitted number of coaches, they
are not averse to sub-contracting some in. That is why they schedule 3 or 4
coaches a day (ttl 135 - 180 paxs) during the off season, but are known to
run 10 or 12 per day during school holidays (450 - 540 paxs,)
