Buranda railway station is located on the Cleveland line in Queensland, Australia. It is one of two stations serving the Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba, the other being Boggo Road.

West of the station, the line joins the Beenleigh line via a triangle junction.[1]

History

Buranda station opened in 1889 as Logan Road station, being renamed Buranda in July 1917.[2][3][4][5]

On 15 July 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station.[6][7]

In the early hours of 29 March 2009, the main station building on platform one was destroyed by fire.[8] A 17-year-old man was later charged with one count of arson following the incident.[9]

From 8 January 2024, the station was temporarily closed for an accessibility upgrade. This upgrade included additions of lifts, raised platforms, hearing loops and disability compliant ticket windows. It reopened on 30 June 2025.[10]
