Woombye is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Sunshine Coast line. It opened in 1891 and serves the Sunshine Coast town of Woombye. It is a ground level station, featuring one side platform.
History
The station today consists of one platform with a wooden structure. In 2009, the platform was extended at both its northern and southern ends with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop and a disused goods yard.
Services
Woombye is serviced by Citytrain network services to Brisbane, Nambour and Gympie North.[4] 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.[5]
