Richlands opened on 17 January 2011 as the terminus of what was then the Richlands Line. The line has since been extended to Springfield Central.
The station multi-storey car park has 650 car parking spaces for vehicles.[1]
Construction started on the station on 1 July 2008.[2] The planning included about 650 car parks, a bus interchange, bicycle lockers and a drop-off area.[3]
The station was due to open on 23 January 2011 with no services due to scheduled maintenance works on the Ipswich line,[2] but due to the Queensland floods the opening was brought forward to 17 January 2011 in order to assist with the recovery efforts.[4] On 2 December 2013, the line was extended to Springfield Central.[5][6]
Richlands is served by trains operating to and from Springfield Central. Most city-bound services run to Kippa-Ring, with some morning peak trains terminating at Bowen Hills.[7] Mid-afternoon services on weekdays run to Caboolture, with one morning and afternoon peak service to Nambour.[7] Three trains on Sunday morning also travel to these destinations; two to Caboolture and one to Nambour.[7] On Monday to Thursday afternoons, there is one Doomben train (this time slot is replaced by a Bowen Hills train on Fridays).[7] Richlands is nine minutes from Springfield Central and 32 minutes from Central.[7]
