Banyo railway station is located on the Shorncliffe line in the suburb of Banyo in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

History

[edit]

The station was built in 1882 on the Sandgate railway line (now the Shorncliffe line). At that time, it was expected that this station would be the junction for the future North Coast railway line and was named Clapham Junction railway station. However it was later decided that junction would be at Northgate railway station and in 1897 it was renamed Banyo railway station.[1]

2012 truck collision

[edit]

On 14 September 2012, a loaded semi-trailer was stuck on the level crossing at the station, when a northbound train collided with the vehicle, which caused it to be thrown into a southbound service. Rail services on the Shorncliffe railway line were disrupted for the rest of the day while the rail safety regulator investigated the collision.[2]

2024 station upgrade

[edit]

Banyo station temporarily closed on 22 January 2024 for an accessibility upgrade, which will include a new footbridge with lift access and full-length, high-level platforms.[3][4] It is expected to reopen in late 2024. During the accessibility upgrade, services do not stop at the station.
