Getting Around Warwick
Ask the driver to drop you at the motel's entrance — it's a flag-down service. No Sunday service; grab a taxi then for about $8.
Book ahead online — seats fill fast. Get dropped at Wood St, then it's a 15-min walk or $10 cab to the motel. Bring snacks, no food on board.
Pre-book via phone or app to avoid waiting; the two-hour run is mostly highway but traffic can delay you through Toowoomba during peak hours.
Cheapest way — $50 economy. No dining car, so pack a picnic. The station is a short cab ride from the motel. Trains can run 20–40 mins late.
