South Brisbane railway station is located on the Gold Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It is one of two stations serving the South Brisbane area, the other being South Bank. It is the second oldest railway station in central Brisbane and is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. ==History== The first station was constructed in 1884 on the corner of Melbourne and Grey Streets and opened as Melbourne Street. It was a terminal station for services on the southern side of the river until 1978. It was rebuilt on higher ground opening on 21 December 1891. The new station was named South Brisbane. After the 1893 Brisbane flood destroyed the first Albert Bridge, the station became the temporary terminus for all trains heading south and west.〔 By 1918, the station had expanded to six platforms.〔 In September 1930, the Southern Brisbane Interstate station opened to the west of the existing station on the site of the present Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, when the standard gauge New South Wales North Coast line was extended from Kyogle.〔 It was the terminus for the ''Brisbane Limited''.〔"Brisbane Express First Train Leaves via North Coast Route" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 27 September 1930〕 On 18 November 1978, the line was extended, via the Merivale Bridge from South Brisbane into Roma Street station on the opposite side of the Brisbane River. The interstate station was demolished to make way for the World Expo 88 site following the standard gauge services being extended to Roma Street on 21 June 1986.〔〔〔"Opening of Brisbane Transit Centre" ''Railway Digest'' August 1986 page 240〕 In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge and Platform 3 which had been out of use since November 1978, was recommissioned.〔"Rails return to the Gold Coast" ''Railway Digest'' August 1996 page 19〕 From 31 October 2011, the station was closed for seven week for major structural works and raising the platforms.〔(South Brisbane Station Upgrade ) Queensland Rail〕 Trains still travelled through South Brisbane during that period but did not stop. 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「South Brisbane railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
