Rockhampton is an important transport hub in the Central Queensland region, providing important transport links between the Central Highlands and Capricorn Coast regions and the areas to the north and south of the state.
In January 2023, public consultation was undertaken to help shape the station's redevelopment.[1] A new customer lounge and shelters will be built, as well as accessible car parking and improved connectivity to other public transport.[1]
Rockhampton was previously served by the Sunshine Express, Sunlander, Queenslander, Spirit of Capricorn and Capricornian on the North Coast line and Midlander on the Central Western line.
