Toowong railway station is a railway station in Toowong, a southwestern suburb of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia, on the Ipswich and Rosewood and Springfield lines.
The station falls in a transition precinct between Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.
The station is under the Toowong Village shopping centre, as it was built-over in the 1986s to harness the airspace for commercial opportunity [1][2]. The station provides access to the cafe and shopping precinct, as well as the Regatta and Royal Exchange hotels nearby. It is the closest station to the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland.
