History
Looking towards the railway station, Beerburrum, 1916

The North Coast line from Caboolture to Landsborough (which included a siding at Beerburrum) was completed on 1 February 1890.[1][2][3]

Beerburrum station was originally a single platform with a crossing loop. As part of the construction of a new 14 kilometre alignment for the North Coast line from Caboolture to Beerburrum, a new station was built immediately to the east, opening on 14 April 2009. Beyond Beerburrum, the line becomes single track.[4][5] It is scheduled to be duplicated to Landsborough by 2021.[6]

Services

Beerburrum is serviced by City network services to Brisbane, Nambour and Gympie North.[7] To relieve congestion on the single track North Coast line north of Beerburrum, the rail service is supplemented by a bus service operated by Kangaroo Bus Lines on weekdays between Caboolture and Nambour as route 649.[8]

gollark: Although ours is too, as it is confusingly funded via a weird combination of semi-subsidized loans and the government.
gollark: * paid-for-by-other-people
gollark: Anyway, the convention here is seemingly to live near university while going there and shove some of the cost onto student loans you're forced to pay back for 30 years, so commuting isn't a huge issue.
gollark: I could just be lying in a convoluted way.
