Most services stop at all stations to Bowen Hills railway station. The typical travel time between Ipswich and Brisbane City is approximately 53 minutes (to Central). During weekday peak times, a few services may skip stations between Redbank and Roma Street for faster travel times for commuters working in the Brisbane central business district.
During the off-peak, services generally continue to Caboolture railway station on the Caboolture line.
Passengers for/from the Rosewood line change at Ipswich, Tennyson line at Corinda, Beenleigh, Gold Coast and Cleveland lines at Roma Street, and all other lines at Central.
