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

History

[edit]

Morningside station opened in 1888 as Bulimba, being renamed Morningside shortly afterwards.[1][2]

On 26 May 1996, the timber station building was burnt out and later demolished.[3] On 15 July 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station.[4][5]

From 22 January 2024, the station is temporarily closed for a station upgrade, including improvements to accessibility, facilities, and the addition of a footbridge and lifts. It is expected to reopen in late 2024.[6][7]

Services

[edit]

Morningside is served by Cleveland line services from Shorncliffe, Northgate, Doomben and Bowen Hills to Cannon Hill, Manly and Cleveland.[8]
