Rocklea station reopening
On Monday 8 July 2024, Queensland Rail and Translink in collaboration with UNITY Alliance will reopen Rocklea station to train services. The station will be fully accessible, providing a better transport experience for all customers.
Thank you for your ongoing patience during the accessibility rebuild of Rocklea station.
When the station reopens on Monday 8 July, all major construction will be complete. Customers will be able to access the station via two new accessible entrances on Brooke Street and Railway Parade (see map over page).
Rocklea station’s new accessible features include a new pedestrian overpass and vertical transport system with three lifts, improved access to platforms, accessible car parking and kiss ‘n’ ride car parking in the Brooke Street commuter car park.
In addition to the station’s new accessible features, other improvements include a new (third) platform, new station buildings and public amenities, upgraded platforms and a new secure bicycle storage facility.
