Burpengary station accessibility upgrade

​Burpengary station concept design (subject to change) 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Burpengary station is being upgraded to make it more accessible for everyone in the community. 

Queensland Rail's Station Accessibility Upgrade Program will make it easier for customers to travel on our network whether you're pushing a pram, carrying luggage, using a wheelchair or injured, you'll be able to use the station with ease. 

Key features of the upgrade include:

  • A new footbridge with lift access

  • Improved accessible parking

  • Full length high-level platforms​

  • Upgraded hearing augmentation loops and tactile ground surface indicators

  • Upgraded security cameras and lighting​

  • New wayfinding and platform signage

  • Accessible toilets​

  • Disability-compliant ticket windows

  • Improved seating and extended platform shelters

  • New station office and facilities.

Station closure and alternative transport

To fast-track construction and deliver the upgrade as safely as possible, the station is temporarily closed.

During this time, trains are running express through the station. Customers can look forward to the station reopening in the second half of 2024.​

A dedicated shuttle bus service is running between Burpengary and Narangba stations to assist customers during the station closure.

Bus service information

  • Shuttle bus 661 is operating between Burpengary and Narangba stations

  • The shuttle is running every 10–15 minutes in peak hour (6am to 9am and 4pm to 6pm​ on weekdays)

  • Outside of peak hour, route 661 connects with arriving trains at Narangba station

  • The 661 departs from the eastern side car park of Burpengary station, off Burpengary Road

  • Existing bus route 664 is also available for customers

  • All route 661 services are accessible.

Nearby train stations​​

  • Morayfield and Narangba are the closest stations to Burpengary and will remain open during the upgrade works, however parking is very limited at these stations. ​
  • ​Limited parking will be available at Burpengary station for those catching the 661 shuttle.

To find your best travel option during the closure, please visit the dedicated Translink page​ (this link navigates to the Translink website), where you can find alternative transport options or use Translink's Journey Planner. ​
