Darra station changes - effective 21 December 2009

From Monday 21 December, Darra station's central platform will be replaced by a temporary platform at the west of the station to make way for upgrade works.

Passengers can access the temporary platform via a new entrance and stairs off the footbridge. The temporary platform will be equipped with go card machines, ticket machines, CCTV and public announcement facilities. Tickets will also be available from a temporary ticket office at the exit to the car park on Darra Station Road.

This temporary platform will operate until late 2010. The inbound platform (to Brisbane City) will remain open during construction.

These changes are due to preparation work for the Darra to Springfield extension.
