Milton railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Milton. The station includes a walkbridge to Lang Park and is also immediately adjacent the Castlemaine Perkins brewery.
History
[edit]Milton station opened in 1884.[1][2] The station was rebuilt in 1960 as part of the quadruplication of the line.[3]
In June 2010, the Queensland Government approved mixed-use development at Milton station, which will see the station covered with office and apartment buildings.[4]
Milton station will get a new ticketing office, updated public amenities, increased visibility across platforms and new access points off Milton Road and Railway Terrace. The new apartments are called The Milton Residences & will be a part of Queensland's first transit oriented development.[5] Work commenced in October 2014.[6]
Services
[edit]Milton is served by City network services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills to Springfield Central, Ipswich and Rosewood.[7][8]
Services by platform
[edit]*Note: One weekday morning service (4:56 am from Central) and selected afternoon peak services continue through to Rosewood. At all other times, a change of train is required at Ipswich.[7]
