It is the junction station for the North Coast, Main, Gold Coast and NSW North Coast lines. ==History== The construction of a railway station on Roma Street was part of a plan to extend the Main Line to Brisbane. An iron station building designed by Sir Charles Fox & Sons was to be imported from the United Kingdom for this purpose, but economic problems in Queensland led to the order being cancelled. In 1873, the Superintendent of Public Buildings Francis Stanley designed a smaller station for the site, with construction beginning in the same year under John Petrie. The station was officially opened on 14 June 1875 as Brisbane at the same time that the Main Line opened to Indooroopilly. A goods and carriage shed were added shortly after. In 1882, Roma Street became a junction station with the North Coast line opening to Sandgate.〔(Opening of the Sandgate Railway ) ''Brisbane Courier'' 11 May 1882〕 With the opening of Central station as Brisbane's principal station on 18 August 1889, the station was renamed Roma Street. As traffic grew, so did the Roma Street precinct with a locomotive shed added.〔 In 1911, the precinct was rearranged with the locomotive and carriage sheds relocated to Mayne near Bowen Hills. On 30 November 1940, Roma Street again became the principal station for long distance services with new platforms built to the south of the existing platforms.〔 Following the opening of the Merivale Bridge on 18 November 1978, Roma Street was also served by Beenleigh line services. on 21 June 1986, it became a dual gauge station with the extension of the standard gauge NSW North Coast line from South Brisbane.〔〔"Opening of Brisbane Transit Centre" ''Railway Digest'' August 1986 page 240〕 In October 1986, the Brisbane Transit Centre opened to the south of the station. As part of the quadruplication of the North Coast line to Bowen Hills, the station was rebuilt. On 1 November 1995, a new Plaform 10 was opened on the station's north side as the platform for long distance services, these services had previously used Platforms 2 and 3.〔"New Long-Distance Platform at Roma Street" ''Railway Digest'' December 1995 page 21〕 Platforms 7, 8 and 9 opened on 11 June 1996〔"Additional City Tunnels & Track Commissioned" ''Railway Digest'' July 1996 page 17〕 while refurbished Platforms 4, 5 and 6 reopened in January 1997.〔"QR Citytrain News" ''Railway Digest'' March 1997 page 18〕 Platform 1 became part of the Roma Street busway station on 19 May 2008.〔(INB Queen St to Upper Roma St ) Leighton Contractors〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roma Street railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
