History

It was the junction station for the Corinda line until passenger services ceased on the line in June 2011 and were replaced by Transport for Brisbane's route 104. [7]

The design for the Queensland Tennis Centre included extending the footbridge over Fairfield Road, however when the centre was built it was not included. [8] Construction eventually commenced in July 2010, with the new bridge opened on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International. [9] [10]

With the opening of the NSW North Coast line to South Brisbane in 1930, the New South Wales Government Railways opened a depot to the south of the station. [11] This closed on 13 February 1997 with the turntable relocated to the new National Rail Acacia Ridge facility. [12] [13]

In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line from South Brisbane was converted to dual gauge. [14] This was later extended to Salisbury. [15]
