History
The Shorncliffe line opened in 1882 to Sandgate, before being renamed Shorncliffe upon the opening of a new station now called Sandgate. The line allowed Brisbane residents to travel to the water of Moreton Bay's shoreline at Shorncliffe.[cite book | last = Hallam | first = Greg | title = Brisbane's Biography (Steamtrain Sunday) | publisher = QR Limited | date = 2005 ] ]Line guide and services
Most services stop at all stations to Roma Street railway station. The typical travel time between Shorncliffe and Brisbane City is approximately 33 minutes (to Central). During weekday peak times, a few services may skip stations between Northgate and Bowen Hills, except Eagle Junction, for faster travel times for commuters working in the Brisbane central business district.
During the weekday daytime off-peak, services continue to Corinda railway station on the Ipswich line, creating a 15 minute frequency in this section. On weekends, services extend to South Bank railway station on the Beenleigh, Cleveland and Gold Coast lines.
Passengers for/from the Caboolture and Nambour and Gympie North lines change at Northgate, Airport and Doomben lines at Eagle Junction, Ferny Grove line at Bowen Hills, and all other lines at Central.
