Morningside railway station is located on the Cleveland line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Morningside.

History

Morningside station opened in 1888 as Bulimba, being renamed Morningside shortly afterwards.[1][2]

On 26 May 1996, the timber station building was burnt out and later demolished.[3] On 15 July 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station.[4][5]

From 22 January 2024, the station is temporarily closed for a station upgrade, including improvements to accessibility, facilities, and the addition of a footbridge and lifts. It is expected to reopen in late 2024.[6][7]
