Yeerongpilly station construction update - February 2025

On Monday 17 February 2025, Queensland Rail and Translink in collaboration with UNITY Alliance will reopen Yeerongpilly 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 Yeerongpilly station.

Upon opening, Yeerongpilly station will be completely accessible from the Wilkie Street main station entry and Fairfield Road via the existing pedestrian overpass and lifts (see map below). Train services will operate from the island platform (platforms 2 and 3) with the new third platform (platform 1) to open at a later date.

Yeerongpilly station’s new accessible features include improved access to platforms, accessible car parking and a kiss ‘n’ ride zone on Wilkie Street. In addition to the station’s new accessible features, other improvements include new station buildings and public amenities, and a new secure bicycle storage facility on Wilkie Street.
