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:
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
“Evil can be got very easily and exists in quantity: the road to her is very smooth, and she lives near by. But between us and virtue the gods have placed the sweat of our brows; the road to her is long and steep, and it is rough at first; but when a man has reached the top, then she is easy to attain, although before she was hard.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
“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)
“It was evident that the same foolish respect was not here claimed for mere wealth and station that is in many parts of New England; yet some of them were the “first people,” as they are called, of the various towns through which we passed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
