Shorncliffe Station Update
The Shorncliffe station renewal project and accessibility upgrade is well underway. Queensland Rail recently released a tender to refurbish the almost 130-year-old station, with works to commence in 2025.
More than 400 objects of heritage significance were discovered in the subfloor of the old station building, including train tickets, clothing, newspaper and bottles – some dating back to the 1890s. A 1940s sailor’s cap, unearthed in the dig, was even reunited with its owner’s family seven-decades later. Photos courtesy of Queensland Rail.
