The community is now able to get their first look at the rebuild and upgrade of the Albion train station in Brisbane’s inner north.
The Queensland Government has developed the preliminary design for the New Albion Station Project, featuring improved accessibility with four new raised, straighter and wider platforms to accommodate increased passenger movements.
The Albion interchange will create a single rail transfer point for passengers travelling to and from the Northern suburbs following the start of trains running through the Cross River Rail tunnels. Albion station was identified as the preferred location for a new interchange station in Brisbane’s inner north to support the future network.
Cross River Rail will change the way train services operate and how customers travel. Providing a second Brisbane River crossing will create increased capacity for train services across the SEQ network. This introduces the need for a key interchange station in Brisbane’s inner north to provide a single and efficient point of transfer for passengers between services.

The new interchange will provide a modern station including lifts, stairs, a ticket office, accessible toilets, wayfinding and signage, lighting and CCTV, delivering a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.
The station facilities will also link both sides of the rail corridor, enabling easy access to and from the surrounding Albion precinct.
The community can now provide feedback on the design, with this feedback to inform further project design development, market engagement and a procurement process for the rebuild of the station, which will be undertaken later this year.
