Construction of the Springfield line

The station is the junction where the Springfield Line outlined under the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program joins the Ipswich line. The station was recently expanded with two additional platforms to enable services for the Springfield Line which commenced to Richlands in January 2011. During construction a hand grenade was found by workers and then safely disposed of by army personnel.^[2]
