Translink says on its update: “During this closure we'll be running timetabled railbuses to replace trains to help you get where you need to be.
“Railbuses will run between Bowen Hills to Gympie North, Domestic Airport, Doomben, Kippa-Ring and Shorncliffe stations. Bikes and e-scooters are not permitted on railbuses.
“Plan your journey to find your fastest travel option.”
After this closure, the Sunshine Coast line will be closed from Monday May 25 to Wednesday May 27 from Caboolture to Gympie North.
Translink says normal fares and conditions apply on all scheduled services.
This comes as the network is on a reduced timetable due to protected industrial action - and will remain until further notice.
“Weekday services are operating on a modified schedule, similar to a Saturday timetable, with extra services during morning and afternoon peak periods to support weekday customers,” says the Translink service update.
