History [edit]
The railway was opened to Manly in 1888 and extended to the first Cleveland station in 1889. An extension to the second Cleveland station opened in 1897, at which time the first Cleveland station was renamed West Cleveland (later Cleveland Central).
A further extension to Redland Bay and Mount Cotton was surveyed in 1889.[1] An extension to Redland Bay was again recommended by the Royal Commission into Public Works in 1922[2] but was never built.
The duplication from Park Road to Murarrie was opened on 17 June 1912.[3]
In 1960, the line from Lota to Cleveland was closed.[4]
The line beyond Lota was rebuilt and reopened on a new alignment to Thorneside in 1982 and the third Cleveland station (formerly Raby Bay) in 1987.
Line guide and services [edit]
Most services stop at all stations to Bowen Hills railway station. The typical travel time between Cleveland and Brisbane City is approximately 56 minutes (to Central). During weekday peak times, a few services may skip some stations between Park Road and Manly stations, for faster travel times for commuters working in the Brisbane central business district. In addition, an afternoon service on school days only operates express between Cleveland and Buranda stations, stopping only at Thorneside, Manly and Lota.
Cleveland line services typically continue as Doomben line services.
Passengers for/from the Beenleigh and Tennyson lines change at Park Road, Gold Coast line at South Bank, Ipswich and Rosewood lines at Roma Street, and all other lines at Central.
