How do I get to Brisbane by train?
Sunshine Coast line trains run inland, from Gympie North and Nambour through Landsborough to Brisbane. The fastest trip from Nambour to Brisbane in our data takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, and from Landsborough about 1 hour 15 minutes. The railway does not reach the beaches, so you usually connect by bus at Nambour or Landsborough.
