Normanby Station - Brisbane

This is a few bits and pieces on Normanby Station.  It is not very well documented, and has always interested me as to its location.  Only had the one platform.  Rarely used after the line through to Central from Roma St was opened.

Normanby opened on August 3, 1882, as an original station on the line between Roma Street, Mayne and Sandgate. A direct line was opened to Central on August 18, 1889, then to Mayne on November 1, 1890.

The service between Exhibition and Mayne was withdrawn in 1900 although the track remained in place. Passenger and goods services continued between Roma Street, Normanby, and Exhibition. In August 1911, the service between Exhibition and Mayne was restored.

Normanby closed in 1966.

Normanby station was opposite Brisbane Grammar School as drawn on this map.

Interesting article.  Public meeting to lobby for the re-opening of Normanby Station, which was closed when the line to Central opened.
