Are the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast lines running today?
live⚠️ Heads up, there's a disruption
- Reduced train timetables
TransLink attributes it to industrial action.
Separately, 1 planned track closure is scheduled on lines right across the network. Those are announced ahead, usually run late at night or at weekends with buses replacing trains, and are not a sign anything has gone wrong today.

One corridor, two lines
Everything north shares the tracks through Petrie (where the Redcliffe Peninsula line branches off — see its status page) up to Caboolture, then Sunshine Coast services push on to the Glass House Mountains and Nambour. Works on the shared stretch close both lines — the wider why is in the trackwork guide.
The long way home
On a line this long, the last service matters more than most — the Caboolture last-train guide and last service home have tonight's real final departures. The corridor's disruption record is on the reliability tracker.
Northern line questions
Are the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast trains running today?+
The live panel above shows every current alert on the northern corridor. Because the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast lines share the same tracks as far as Caboolture, closures usually name both — they appear here as they're announced.
How far does the line go?+
Caboolture line trains terminate at Caboolture; Sunshine Coast line trains continue north through Beerwah and the Glass House Mountains to Nambour and Gympie North. It's the network's longest reach.
How do I get to the Sunshine Coast by train?+
The rail line reaches Nambour and Gympie North, then buses connect to Maroochydore, Caloundra and the beaches — there's no train to the coast itself. The journey planner handles the train-and-bus combination live.
How long is the train to Caboolture or Nambour?+
Around an hour to Caboolture from Central, and roughly two hours to Nambour, service depending. The journey planner gives the live door-to-door time.
