Changes to train services this Christmas and New Years

Cross River Rail will be undertaking major track works over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period. These works are necessary to make way for the southern tunnel portal which is located between Dutton Park station and the new CRR Boggo Road station. Over this period, work will also be undertaken at Fairfield and Yeronga stations.

This works requires a 10-day track closure which will impact train services on the Gold Coast, Beenleigh and Cleveland lines from first service Saturday 25 December 2021 until last service Monday 3 January 2022.

During this time trains will operate to special timetables so please remember if you are planning to travel to and through Brisbane over the holiday period, plan ahead and use TransLink’s journey planner to find out your best travel options.
