Track closures extended until 30 April

SEQTA service disruption notice

Beenleigh, Gold Coast and Doomben line disruptions will continue through the end of April.

According to Translink's April extended track closures service update, major track closures and travel changes will remain in place until Thursday 30 April 2026.

The official service update says the closure period will affect lines across the network with some journeys taking significantly longer than usual. For passengers on the southern corridor, the biggest impacts later this month are on the Beenleigh and Gold Coast lines, which will run as a combined service between Varsity Lakes and Banoon, with no trains operating between Banoon and Boggo Road during the affected closure windows.

The Doomben line is also impacted, with trains running only between Doomben and Eagle Junction across multiple closure periods in April.

Translink line status pages are also currently listing disruptions related to protected industrial action. We are noting that status warning alongside the formal closure notice, but the official closure update itself is framed as a wider April works program.

Throughout this period it'S SUPER IMPORTANT you check the Translink website before travelling as it looks like things could change quickly. While track closures suck, remember they're a temporary inconvenience to deliver decades of nation-leading infrastructure.
