Mooloolah is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Sunshine Coast line. It opened in 1891 and serves the Sunshine Coast town of Mooloolah Valley. It is a ground level station, featuring one side platform.
History
In 2009, the platform was extended at both its northern and southern ends with scaffolding and plywood materials.[1] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[2] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.
Services
Mooloolah is serviced by Citytrain network services to Brisbane, Nambour and Gympie North.[3] To relieve congestion on the single track North Coast line, the rail service is supplemented by a bus service operated by Kangaroo Bus Lines on weekdays between Caboolture and Nambour as route 649.[4]
