Weekend works to upgrade northern train network
Caboolture and Sunshine Coast lines closed
Between Northgate and Gympie North stations
Saturday, February 4 and Sunday, February 5
Buses will replace train on the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast
train lines this weekend.
The Caboolture line between Northgate and Caboolture stations and
the Sunshine Coast line between Caboolture and Gympie North
stations will be closed from the first train on Saturday
(February 4) to the last train on Sunday (February 5).
Works being undertaken this weekend include:
• Narangba train station upgrade works
• Overhead power line improvements
• Track work and maintenance at various
locations
TransLink spokesman Miguel Holland said buses would replace all
inbound and outbound trains for customers between Northgate and
Gympie North stations during the closure.
“People will still be able to get where they need to go but
alternative services will be running,” Mr Holland said.
“NightLink trains on the Caboolture line departing Roma Street
station will terminate at Northgate station with buses stopping
all stations from Northgate to Caboolture.”
The South Pine Road level crossing at Strathpine will be closed
to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic with alternate access to
Brendale via Mott Street and Kremzow Road. Also, single lane
access only will be available at the Newman Road level crossing
at Geebung during this weekend.
Customers with a disability should phone 3606 5555 or SMS 0428
774 636 for assistance.
People attending the NRL All Stars vs Indigenous All Stars rugby
league clash at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast, Roger Waters at
the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday night or the
Michael Parkinson concert at QPAC also on Saturday night should
plan their journey with this closure in mind.
Normal train services will resume from first services on Monday,
February 6.
TransLink and Queensland Rail appreciate people’s patience as
upgrade and maintenance works continue across the network.
