On Tuesday 4 October, minor timetable and service changes are being made to bus services across Brisbane's northern suburbs, Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast region.

This is a result of other network changes associated with the opening of the new Redcliffe Peninsula train line.

Route 649 changes

Route 649 is a railbus, servicing train stations between Caboolture and Nambour to cover gaps in the current Sunshine Coast line timetable.

From Tuesday 4 October, trains on the Sunshine Coast line will run every 90 minutes, with more improvements planned with the opening of the Woombye stabling yards in 2017.

This means there are less gaps in the train timetable that need to be filled with a railbus and, as a result, we're reducing the number of route 649 services from 26 to 16.

To provide a more consistent and easier to understand timetable, route 649 will also service every station between Caboolture and Nambour.

Route 649 will still operate Monday to Friday only.

Bribie Island buses timetable changes

As a result of wider changes in the Caboolture network, minor timetable changes are being made to services in Bribie Island on Tuesday 4 October.

This simply means your bus may arrive or depart earlier or later than it currently does.

Affected routes are:

• 641
• 642
• 643
• 644

Make sure you check your new timetable or plan your journey before you travel.

Buses connecting to Caboolture and Sunshine Coast line trains

To allow for the new services on the Redcliffe Peninsula line, some timetable changes need to be made to trains on the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast lines.

This means that, on Tuesday 4 October, we also need to change timetables of connecting buses. Make sure you check your new timetable or plan your journey before you travel.

There will be no other changes to these services - it just means your bus may arrive or depart earlier or later than it currently does.
