History

Dutton Park station opened in 1884 as Boggo Junction. It was the junction of the Wooloongabba line from 1884 until 1989. It was renamed Dutton Park in 1914.[3][4]

In September 1930, the standard gauge New South Wales North Coast line opened to the west of the station.[5] In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.[6]

In early 2014, it was announced that Dutton Park would be closed if the Bus & Train Tunnel proceeded, because it would reduce the overall cost of the project, principally by ensuring that no surface-level private residential property acquisition would be required.[7][8]

In June 2014, it was announced that by slightly increasing the gradient of the line, the project could proceed without the need to demolish Dutton Park station.[9][10][11] The project was cancelled in March 2015.[12]

Cross River Rail

The station is being relocated and receiving a major upgrade as part of Cross River Rail.[1] The new station design has easier access for people using wheelchairs or walking frames, and parents with prams.[1] New entry points to station will be built from Noble Street, Kent Street and Annerley Road.[1]

Services

Dutton Park station is served by all stops Beenleigh line services from Beenleigh, Kuraby and Coopers Plains to Bowen Hills and Ferny Grove.[13]

Until June 2011, Dutton Park was also served by services to Corinda via the Yeerongpilly-Corinda line.[14][15]
