Corinda railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Corinda.

History

Corinda station opened in 1875 as South Brisbane Junction, being renamed Corinda in 1888. In 1884, a branch line was built from Corinda to the South Brisbane wharves.[1] The branch line is now known as the Corinda-Yeerongpilly line.

The station was rebuilt in 1960 as part of the quadruplication of the line from Roma Street.[2] In 2010, the quadruplication was extended to Darra as part of the construction of the Springfield line.[3]
