Salisbury Station has reopened to passengers, marking a major milestone in the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority’s upgrade program on Brisbane’s southside. Delivered ahead of its original mid‑2026 schedule, the project reflects strong collaboration and a commitment to improving public transport for the community.
As one of seven stations being rebuilt or upgraded between Dutton Park and Salisbury through the Rail, Integration and Systems package, Salisbury’s completion means six stations are now open, with Moorooka the final station still to come. Its reopening forms part of a broader transformation to increase capacity, enhance accessibility and modernise South East Queensland’s rail network.
Accessibility has been a central priority, with improvements such as braille and tactile station maps, through‑lifts, accessible parking and drop‑off zones, and hearing loop coverage to support passengers with hearing loss. These features ensure the station is safer, easier to navigate and inclusive for all customers.
The modernised Salisbury Station now includes:
- A new station building, enhanced shelter and an accessible public toilet
- An additional third platform, supporting greater rail capacity
- A new station overpass, four new lifts and new stairs
- A secure bicycle enclosure supporting active transport
- Integrated accessibility features across the entire station
Together, these upgrades provide a more efficient, comfortable and future‑ready transport experience.
Salisbury’s reopening highlights the progress delivered through the Cross River Rail program and supports a more connected, accessible and sustainable rail network for South East Queensland.
