Woombye railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the town of Woombye in the Sunshine Coast Region.

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.[1] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[2] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop and a disused goods yard.

Services

Woombye is serviced by City network services to Brisbane, Nambour and Gympie North.[3] 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.[4]
