Residents in Fernvale who rely on the rail network to travel to Brisbane will face disruptions next month as Translink performs track maintenance on the Ipswich-Rosewood and Springfield train lines.
Train services will be replaced by buses across two periods in May 2026. The first closure begins at 12:30am on Saturday 9 May and continues through the final service on Sunday 10 May, with replacement buses running between Roma Street and the Rosewood and Springfield Central stations. A second, shorter closure will occur on Monday 11 May from 9:30pm until the end of the night, affecting the section between Darra and Ipswich.
Fernvale locals, who depend on connecting bus services to reach the station in Ipswich, should allow extra time for their journeys during these closures. With limited public transport options available in the area, residents are encouraged to review their travel plans in advance to avoid delays when heading into the city for work or appointments.
According to Queensland Rail, these changes are part of general track maintenance. Normal fares will remain in place for all replacement bus services, and commuters can find details on stop locations by checking the service updates page.
