Dutton Park railway station is located on the Beenleigh line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Dutton Park. The station is one of the oldest on the network.[1]
Dutton Park station opened in 1884 as Boggo Junction. It was the junction of the Wooloongabba line from 1884 until 1989. The Boggo Junction station is shown on the 1911 estate map for the Dutton Park Estate.[3] The station was renamed Dutton Park three years later in 1914.[4][5][6]
In early 2014, it was announced that Dutton Park would be closed if the Bus & Train Tunnel proceeded, because it would reduce the overall cost of the project, principally by ensuring that no surface-level private residential property acquisition would be required.[9][10]
In June 2014, it was announced that by slightly increasing the gradient of the line, the project could proceed without the need to demolish Dutton Park station.[11][12][13] The project was cancelled in March 2015.[14]
Cross River Rail
The station is being relocated and receiving a major upgrade as part of Cross River Rail.[1] The new station design has easier access for people using wheelchairs or walking frames, and parents with prams.[1] New entry points to station will be built from Noble Street, Kent Street and Annerley Road.[1] By 1 May 2023 the old Dutton Park station had been completely demolished.[15] The new station is located entirely south of Annerley Road, and features two side-facing platforms on the eastern side of the corridor; something different to anywhere else on the QLD network and a variance to the other stations being built by Cross River Rail, and it re-opened on 21 October 2024.[16][17]
