Extended track closures

From Saturday December 20 to Monday 26 January there will be track closures and travel changes across all lines for Cross River Rail works and essential maintenance.

These works are essential to upgrade South East Queensland’s rail network as it undergoes a once-in-a-generation transformation to support our growing population.

Your best travel option may change over the 38-day period.

Please consider your transport options, plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
