In early December 2011, the iconic South Brisbane station returned to normal operations following the upgrade of the ticket office, station platforms and public facilities.
Minor works continue in early 2012 to restore brickwork and upgrade the front plaza to the station. You will be able to touch on and touch off at the station as per usual.
Continuing station works
Over the coming months, the station will be surrounded by temporary fencing and signage will direct passengers throughout the station while works continue to restore and upgrade its heritage-listed features.
Ongoing activities will include tiling, painting, masonry restoration and the beautification of the Grey Street plaza area.
For your safety, please be alert to any changed conditions during these works.
Thank you for your continued patience as we build a better station.
