Edens Landing railway station is a park and ride suburban railway station in Queensland, Australia, serving the suburb of Edens Landing in Logan City on the Beenleigh line.[1][2] The station is located off Eddy Avenue and consists of two side platforms, which are connected by a tunnel that goes beneath the station.[1]
Platform 1 is located on the northern side, while platform 2 is located on the southern side of the station.[1] Eddy Avenue is located on the southern side, where the car park is located.[1] This side of the station also consists of a drop off zone, a ticket machine, and bike storage for commuters.[1]
Both platforms have sheltered seating and help phones for commuters; the help phones are located in the middle of the platform on both platforms, while the sheltered seating differs between platforms.[1] The sheltered seating on platform 1 is located in the middle of the platform, while platform 2 has sheltered seating towards both ends of the platform.[1]
History
[edit]The upgrade of the train services in the 1980s led Leighton Developers to pay for a station at Edens Landing.[3][4] It was installed and named in about 1985,[5] and opened in January 1986.[3][4]
On 21 April 1992, a second platform opened as part of the duplication of the line.[6]
In 2006, an incident occurred on or around the station, which resulted in the north and south bound services to be disrupted, resulting in stranded passengers being picked up by buses.[7]
A man lost his life after being hit by an express train as it was going through the station in 2008.[8][9]
The road to the station was flooded in 2018, effecting the morning commute.[10] Also, in 2018, a lock it or lose it was conducted of the railway station car-park and, overall, the police were pleased with the compliance.[11]
Station Upgrade
[edit]The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project will be doubling the number of tracks between Kuraby and Beenleigh, with modernised rail systems, station upgrades, and level crossing removals,[12] which will affect the Edens Landing station. In November 2023, an upgraded station had been proposed.[13] The Department of Transport and Main Roads reviewed the community feedback, which was held between November and December 2023, which the findings were meant to be released in early 2024,[14] but was released in August 2024.[15] It is expected that contractors will be appointed by late 2024, subject to government approvals, while construction timeframes will be confirmed once contractors have been appointed.[14]
Services
[edit]Edens Landing is served by all stops Beenleigh line services from Beenleigh to Bowen Hills and Ferny Grove.[16]
