Commuters who regularly take the train at the Auchenflower station, take note! There will be changes to the service due to the closure of Platform 1 for ongoing upgrades.



From 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 31 October, to Friday, 4 November 2022, no outbound rail services heading towards the Ipswich/Rosewood stations or Springfield Central station will stop at the Auchenflower station. 

Instead, the public is advised to go to the Toowong station and change to any inbound service. Those leaving Auchenflower, on the other hand, are asked to travel inbound to the Milton station and then change to an outbound service. Other services in Auchenflower will not be affected.

Riders to the trains should also be aware that the station footbridge Lang Parade entrance will be temporarily closed due to more flooring works. Commuters are asked to take the new footbridge between Ridley Street and Lang Parade.

Meanwhile, full road closure near Auchenflower Terrace, between McIlwraith and Ridley streets, will last until Wednesday, 30 November 2022 because of the construction activities. Motorist traffic will be diverted to McIlwraith and Harriett streets whilst pedestrian access will be opened on the western side. 

The carpark at the Auchenflower station will still be closed for the rest of November. Motorists may look for on-street parking or park at the Toowong Station.
