Corinda is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Ipswich/Rosewood and Springfield lines. It opened in 1875 and serves the Brisbane suburb of Corinda. It is a ground level station, featuring two island platforms with two faces each and one side platform.
History
Corinda station opened in 1875 as South Brisbane Junction, being renamed Corinda in 1888. In 1884, a branch line was built from Corinda to the South Brisbane wharves.[1] The branch line is now known as the Corinda-Yeerongpilly line.
The station was rebuilt in 1960 as part of the quadruplication of the line from Roma Street.[2] In 2010, the quadruplication was extended to Darra as part of the construction of the Springfield line.[3]
Services
Corinda is served by Citytrain network services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills to Springfield Central, Ipswich and Rosewood.[4][5]
During peak hours, trains ran between Central and Corinda via Tennyson, Yeerongpilly and the Corinda-Yeerongpilly line until replaced by Transport for Brisbane's route 104 in June 2011.[6]
Corinda is also served by Queensland Rail Travel's twice weekly Westlander service travelling between Brisbane and Charleville.[7]
