Queensland’s Banyo station will reopen on Monday 26 May 2025 after being closed for accessibility upgrades for over a year.
The station shut its doors in January 2024 for major construction works as part of Queensland Rail’s Station Accessibility Upgrade Program.
Now, the new look Banyo station has fully raised platforms and an overpass connected by lifts, as well as additional accessibility features and amenities.
Banyo station’s car park will remain closed while the site is packed down and will reopen in the coming weeks.
There will also be some additional ongoing works, including final touches being undertaken on the bicycle enclosure which will be ready for public use in the weeks following the station reopening.
Queensland Rail’s Head of South East Queensland Neil Backer said the operator looks forward to welcoming customers back to Banyo station.
“A modernised rail network transforms the travel experience for Queensland Rail customers and whether you’re using a wheelchair, pushing a pram, or carrying luggage, our upgraded stations are designed to make every journey easier and more accessible.
“We thank our customers and the community for their ongoing patience during challenging construction conditions, including battling the impacts of Mother Nature and complex site geography.”
Note that due to testing of the European Train Control System signalling system for the Cross River Rail project, there will be a closure on the Shorncliffe line from 2 – 5 June that will impact Banyo station and all other stations on the line.
