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.

“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)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
