Oxley railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Oxley.
History
[edit]Oxley station was first opened in 1874. During the 1890s, a brick structure was built that still survives today.[1]
In 2010, as part of the quadruplication of the Main line from Corinda to Darra to accommodate Springfield line services, a pair of tracks were built on either side of the existing two, with the western track receiving a new platform.[2]
Services
[edit]Oxley is served by Citytrain network services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills to Springfield Central, Ipswich and Rosewood.[3][4]
