History
Yeerongpilly station opened in 1884 as Logan Junction with the opening of the railway to Loganlea.[1] It was renamed South Coast Junction in 1885[2] and again to Yeerongpilly in 1893.[3]
It was the junction station for the Corinda line until passenger services ceased on the line in June 2011 and were replaced by Transport for Brisbane's route 104.[4]
The design for the Queensland Tennis Centre included extending the footbridge over Fairfield Road, however when the centre was built it was not included.[5] Construction eventually commenced in July 2010, with the new bridge opened on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.[6][7]
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.[8] This closed on 13 February 1997 with the turntable relocated to the new National Rail Acacia Ridge facility.[9][10]
In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line from South Brisbane was converted to dual gauge.[11] This was later extended to Salisbury.[12]
The station was closed for a full accessibility rebuild from 18 September 2023 to 16 February 2025 as part of the Cross River Rail project.[13][14]
