History

Yeerongpilly station opened in 1884 as Logan Junction with the opening of the railway to Loganlea.[2] It was renamed South Coast Junction in 1885[3] and again to Yeerongpilly in 1893.[4]

It was the junction station for the Corinda line until passenger services ceased on the line in June 2011 and were replaced by Brisbane Transport's route 104.[5]

The design for the Queensland Tennis Centre included extending the footbridge over Fairfield Road, however when the centre was built it was not included.[6] Construction eventually commenced in July 2010, with the new bridge opened on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.[7][8]

With the opening of the NSW North Coast line to South Brisbane in 1930, the New South Wales Government Railways opened a depot to the south of the station.[9] This closed on 13 February 1997 with the turntable relocated to the new National Rail Acacia Ridge facility.[10][11]

In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line from South Brisbane was converted to dual gauge.[12] This was later extended to Salisbury.[13]

Services

Yeerongpilly station is served by all stops Beenleigh line services from Beenleigh, Kuraby and Coopers Plains to Bowen Hills and Ferny Grove.[14]
