Location

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]
