New Albion station project
Albion train station will be rebuilt and upgraded to support future interchange demand in Brisbane's inner north.
Once completed, the upgraded Albion train station will offer accessible, safe and convenient transfers for passengers. It will serve as a major rail-to-rail interchange, enhancing cross-corridor connectivity within the inner northern rail network.
Benefits
- Accessibility

Key features
The upgraded Albion train station will include:
- 4 straighter, wider and raised platforms, with shade cover
- an elevated concourse at the southern end of the platforms, providing opportunities for a high-quality public domain and accessibility across the rail corridor
- new station building with customer facilities including lifts, stairs, ticket office, accessible toilets, wayfinding and signage, lighting and CCTV
- new pedestrian overbridge at the northern end of the platforms, with cross corridor connection to Hudson Road and Mawarra Street
- reconfiguration of rail corridor, infrastructure and systems
- kiss 'n' ride facilities
- bicycle storage facilities.
Current status
The project is currently in the planning phase.
In August and September 2024, we delivered community engagement activities seeking feedback on the preliminary reference design.
Feedback on the preliminary reference design will inform further design development for the project. TMR will keep the community updated on outcomes and opportunity for further input as we progress through future design stages.
