The location of "Lindum" was once a suburb named for a residential house in the area. In the 1980s, Lindum ceased to exist as a suburb and is now recognised as a locality within the broader suburb of Wynnum West. Many local residents, both old and new - are working to bring back Lindum as an official locality. Many descendants of those early Lindum pioneer families are still living in the area. [1]

In November 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station. It branches off to the east of the station. [2] [3]
