Corinda railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Corinda.

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]

Corinda is served by Citytrain services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Petrie 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 Brisbane Transport's route 104 in June 2011.[6]

Corinda is also is served by Traveltrain's twice weekly Westlander service travelling between Brisbane and Charleville.[7]
