History

The first Fairfield railway station opened in 1885 and was adjacent to modern day Fairfield Road. Following the 1893 Brisbane flood, the Fairfield Deviation resulted in the railway between Dutton Park and Yeronga being rebuilt to the east with the current station opening in 1895. [1]

In September 1930, the standard gauge New South Wales North Coast line opened to the west of the station. [2] In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge. [3]

From 28 March 2022 until 8 January 2023, Fairfield Station was closed for major upgrade works as part of the Cross River Rail project. [4] Works will include a new 3rd platform and new overpass including lifts. The heritage-listed waiting shelter on Platform 1 will be removed temporarily and reinstated later in the project. [5]
