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.
