The Redcliffe Peninsula line is a 12 km (7.5 mi) stretch of heavy gauge dual-track railway between Petrie and Kippa-Ring on the Redcliffe peninsula in Queensland, Australia.[2] The new line is part of Queensland Rail's City suburban network, branching from the North Coast line. It starts 200 metres (656 ft) north of Petrie railway station, extending from (27.5 km (17.1 mi) to 40.1 km (24.9 mi) north of Central railway station).
The line has six stations: Kallangur, Murrumba Downs, Mango Hill, Mango Hill East (previously called Kinsellas Road), Rothwell and Kippa-Ring. Funding for the project consisted of $742 million from the Commonwealth Government, $300 million from the Queensland Government (plus another $120 million for land) and $105 million from the Moreton Bay Regional Council.[2]
The line was officially opened on 3 October 2016, about 130 years after it was first proposed.[3] The first train to depart from Kippa-Ring was SMU 285 and 295, with the Prime Minister, Queensland Premier and the first train ballot winners on board.
