Lindum railway station is located in the Bayside suburb of Lindum, on the Cleveland line in Queensland, Australia. It primarily services the Brisbane suburb of Wynnum West and the predominantly industrial areas of Hemmant. Iona College, a secondary school, is situated at its Lindum address adjacent to the railway station.
The location of "Lindum" was once a suburb named for a residential house in the area. In the 1980s, Lindum ceased to exist as a suburb and is now recognised as a locality within the broader suburb of Wynnum West. Many local residents, both old and new - are working to bring back Lindum as an official locality. Many descendants of those early Lindum pioneer families are still living in the area.[1]
In November 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station. It branches off to the east of the station.[2][3]
History[edit]
From 22 January 2024, Lindum station was temporarily closed for an accessibility upgrade. This upgrade includes additions of lifts, raised platforms, hearing loops and disability compliant ticket windows. It is expected to reopen in late 2024.[4]
During the closure, Transport for Brisbane will be operating a shuttle service between Lindum and Wynnum North stations.[5] Train services do not stop at the station during the accessibility upgrade.
Incidents[edit]
In February 2019, an elderly woman died after being struck by a train while crossing the tracks.[6]
Two years later a 32-year-old woman died after her car was struck while on the crossing.[7]
Services[edit]
Lindum is served by Cleveland line services from Shorncliffe, Northgate, Doomben and Bowen Hills to Manly and Cleveland.[8]
