Fortitude Valley railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. Located beneath the Valley Metro complex, it serves the central Brisbane suburb of Fortitude Valley.

Pedestrian access to the station is via two thoroughfares near the corner of Brunswick and Wickham Streets and a pedestrian overpass connecting to McWhirters.

History

The station opened on 1 November 1890 as Brunswick Street with the completion of the railway from Brisbane Central.[1][2]

In July 2007, an upgrade on the station commenced but being a busy station, only two platforms were able to be upgraded at any one time.[3]

The upgrade was completed in October 2008 with escalators, elevators, new lighting, updated passenger information displays and upgraded flooring.[4] With the upgrade completed, the station was renamed Fortitude Valley.[5][6]

Services

Fortitude Valley station is served by all suburban and interurban City network lines.[7][8][9][10][11][11][12][13][14][15][16]
