Cooran is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Sunshine Coast line. It opened in 1889 and serves the Noosa town of Cooran. It is a ground level station, featuring one side platform.
History
Cooran railway station opened on 10 June 1889 with the opening of the line from Gympie. It was the terminus of the line until it was extended south to Cooroy on 1 April 1891.[1]
The station today consists of one platform with a steel shelter. In 2009, the platform was extended at its southern end with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remained until December 2018.[3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop. Queensland Rail has commenced the reconstruction of the station platform and shelter, with work on the new, permanent structure that was completed by the end of December 2018.[4]
Services
Cooran is serviced by two daily Citytrain network services in each direction.[5]
