The hub of the Citytrain system is Central Station. Unlike many rail systems that have most of their trains terminate at the CBD, most trains have a four-minute layover at Central, then continue on to another destination. For example, an Ipswich train passes through Central, then becomes a Caboolture train, and vice-versa. Likewise a train coming from Beenleigh runs through Central and continues on to Ferny Grove

Central Station generates approximately 80,000 trips each day. Queensland Rail in the year 2004 reported a 99.7% punctuality rate for Citytrain services. A Suburban Multiple Unit at a Brisbane Central platform. ...

Due to current demand and a shortage of rolling stock, suburban trains are often used on interurban lines. The Nambour line frequently suffers the use of the elderly, though serviceable, EMU sets. The Gold Coast line is often serviced by SMU220 class trains which have had software upgrades for operation at 120km/h on high-speed parts of the line, increasing operational flexibility. These latter trains are identified by the letters "HS" located on the front-left side of the cab at either end. Despite this, the trains are not provided with the usual creature comforts of the IMU or ICE sets, such as toilets or high-backed seats. This will be remedied with an order of 16 new interurban and 8 new suburban sets to be delivered from early 2007.
