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

History

Richlands opened on 17 January 2011 as the terminus of what is now the Springfield line.

The station multi-storey car park has 650 car parking spaces for vehicles.[1]

Construction and opening

Construction started on the station on 1 July 2008.[2] The planning included about 650 car parks, a bus interchange, bicycle lockers and a drop-off area.[3]

The station was due to open on 23 January 2011 with no services due to scheduled maintenance works on the Ipswich line,[2] but due to the Queensland floods the opening was brought forward to 17 January 2011 in order to assist with the recovery efforts.[4] On 2 December 2013, the line was extended to Springfield Central.[5][6]

Services

Richlands is served by trains operating from Springfield Central to Bowen Hills. Some services extend to Petrie, Caboolture and Nambour.[7]
