History

Milton station opened in 1884. ^{[1] [2]} The station was rebuilt in 1960 as part of the quadruplication of the line. ^[3]

In June 2010, the Queensland Government approved mixed-use development at Milton station, which will see the station covered with office and apartment buildings. ^[4]

Milton station will get a new ticketing office, updated public amenities, increased visibility across platforms and new access points off Milton Road and Railway Terrace. The new apartments are called The Milton Residences & will be a part of Queensland's first transit oriented development. ^[5] Work commenced in October 2014. ^[6]
