List of CityTrain stations

The Ipswich railway line is a suburban railway line in Brisbane, Australia. It runs south-west, servicing Brisbane's inner western suburbs, before connecting Brisbane to the nearby city of Ipswich. The line crosses the Brisbane River at Indooroopilly. After Ipswich, it connects to the interurban Rosewood line.

The line runs 38.7 kilometres from Brisbane Central. It branches from the other southbound railway lines at Roma Street. It connects with the northern Caboolture and Shorncliffe lines.

During peak hour periods, selected peak services continue onto the interurban Rosewood Line. At other times, a connecting shuttle service operates between Ipswich and Rosewood.

The Springfield Line will branch off the Ipswich line and a new junction connecting Ipswich and Springfield residents will be made at Darra.

[edit] Stations

During peak hour, some services skip stations for faster travel times and to ease over-crowding for peak-hr commuters working in Brisbane.
