Great video on QR timeline.

Note how the sunshine coast line was opened in parts.

Wasn't Gloucester St between Park Rd and Vulture St/South Bank?

Video showed it south of Park Rd.

Also, I remember a few stations north of Nambour that have since closed, North Arm and Glanmire are two that come to mind, but there may have been more.

^Yeah, they've done a pretty good job though considering they are out-of-towners and their budget for these videos isn't all that high. You can still see the remains of the station on Google Maps satellite view here: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-27.4879703,153.0238011,232m/data=!3m1!1e3.

BUT, if you go onto BCC's City Plan (here: https://cityplan.brisbane.qld.gov.au/eplan/#/Property/0) and turn on 1946 Aerial Imagery on the right hand side Toolbar (yes that's right, 1946!), you can zoom right into where Gloucester St used to be and see the station in all it's glory.

I would recommend everyone to have a look at the 1946 imagery either way, it is very interesting to see how our City has evolved and how much of it is still here today. It does only show the extent of the BCC boundaries though.

A notable highlight of mine is that a rail line to Hamilton Portside existed #bringrailbacktoBrisbanesnorthbank :hg
