Darra is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Ipswich/Rosewood and Springfield lines. It opened in 1874 and serves the Brisbane suburb of Darra. It is a ground level station, featuring one island platform with two faces and two side platforms.
History
A stop at "nine miles forty four chain" from Central was established when the line between Ipswich and Brisbane was built in 1874. Service on the line were operating in 1875. No stops at the site were recorded in 1876 or 1877, probably because the stop was not staffed until the following year when passengers were first recorded at Darra station. The name Darra is most probably derived from a Scottish railway town as some of the engineers who were responsible for naming stops were Scottish.
During construction a hand grenade was found by workers and then safely disposed of by army personnel.
The car park was expanded to include 60 new car park spaces and 40 extra cycle lockers.
Services
Darra is served by Citytrain network services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills to Springfield Central, Ipswich and Rosewood.
