South Brisbane Station is a railway station in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is part of the QR Citytrain network and is located in Zone 1 of the TransLink integrated public transport system. It is the first station south of the Merivale Bridge and is also adjacent to the Cultural Centre Busway Station on the South-East Busway.

History

The first South Brisbane station was constructed in 1884 near the Brisbane River, and was a terminal station for services on the southern side of the river until 1978. It was reconstructed at the present site on higher ground on 21 December 1891.

In 1930 South Brisbane also became the site of the Interstate Station because it was the terminus of the standard gauge railway from Sydney to Brisbane. The Interstate Station occupied land that is now used by the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

On 18 November 1978 the railway line was extended, via the Merivale Bridge from South Brisbane into Roma Street Railway Station on the opposite side of the Brisbane River.

Adjacent attractions

The station is very convenient to the Queensland Cultural Centre, including the Queensland Museum, the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, and the State Library.

The station is also very conveniently located to the Queensland Conservatorium and Suncorp Piazza, which are both situated within the South Bank Parklands.
