Salisbury railway station is located on the Beenleigh Line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Salisbury. The station opened in 1885 at the same time as the line.[1]
In September 1930, Salisbury became a junction with the opening of the standard gauge NSW North Coast line.[2][3]
In 1996, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.[4]
In 2024 as part of the Cross River Rail project, Salisbury station will receive an full accessibility upgrade with major changes being a new third platform, upgraded overpass with lifts, a new station building and more. Construction will start on Monday 9 December 2024 and is expected to finish in mid-2026.[5][6]
A business case has been opened by the Government of Australia and Queensland Government for a proposed passenger rail service from Salisbury to Beaudesert, which would use the existing NSW TrainLink railway from Salisbury to Undullah, then a soon to be built railway from Undullah to Beaudesert.[7]
