Bethania is a railway station on the Beenleigh Line of Brisbane, Australia. It is part of the Queensland Rail City network.
History
The station opened in July 1885. When the Beaudesert railway line opened in May 1888, the station became known as Bethania Junction and retained that name until the 1943.[1][2] Refreshment rooms opened in 1908 and closed in 1964.[2]
