Park Road Railway Station

Park Road Railway Station

Park Road is a railway station in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is part of the Queensland Rail City network.

It is in a transition precinct between Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.

The station forms the branching point for the Beenleigh/Gold Coast and Cleveland railway lines. Platform 4 of this station was intended for use by Gold Coast trains but the curvature of the platform has proved to be unsafe for commuter train usage. This problem has yet to be rectified.

Adjacent to the railway station on the Boggo Road site is the Boggo Road busway station, with the Princess Alexandra Hospital busway station nearby. Both form part of the Boggo Road Busway between the South East Busway and UQ via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words park, road, railway and/or station:

    “The park is filled with night and fog,
    The veils are drawn about the world,”
    —Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)

    “The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.”
    —Philip Roth (b. 1933)

    “Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
