- Customers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time with a track closure in place between Landsborough and Caboolture stations on the Sunshine Coast line in September.
- The closure will allow critical works enabling upgrades to the Sunshine Coast rail line to be undertaken safely and efficiently in the rail corridor.
- Buses will replace trains during the closure to get customers to their destination.
Customers travelling on the Sunshine Coast and Gympie North lines are urged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time with track closures in place from the first service on Tuesday 16 until the last service on Wednesday 17 September.
During the closure, both express and all-stops buses will replace trains between Landsborough and Caboolture stations.
To the south of the closure, trains running into the city will commence from Caboolture station and run to the regular weekday timetable, while to the north of the closure, a three-car train service will run between Gympie North and Landsborough stations.
Some additional train services will run inbound from Caboolture to Roma Street during the morning peak to ensure customers can get where they need to go.
Customers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
To plan your journey, use the Translink app, visit translink.com.au or call 13 12 30.
All trains will return to a regular timetable from first service Thursday 18 September.
Track closures and transport changes are required to allow essential works to be completed on the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade (B2N) Stage 1 project safely and efficiently, with the closure scheduled to minimise impacts as much as possible and consider customer, freight and long-distance passenger service needs.
Visit the Department of Transport and Main Roads website for more information on the B2N Rail Upgrade Stage 1.
