Petrie railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the suburb of Petrie in the City of Moreton Bay.[1] It opened as North Pine railway station in 1888 after the nearby North Pine River and was renamed Petrie railway station (after local pioneer Thomas Petrie) in 1911.

The station has five platforms. As part of the Redcliffe Peninsula line, the station was expanded with a new island platform built east of the existing platforms.[2] [3] It opened along with the rest of the line on 4 October 2016.[4] As part of the project, a third track was added south of the station to Lawnton.[5] North of the station, the Redcliffe Peninsula line branches off.

Services

Petrie is served by all City network services from Gympie North, Nambour, Caboolture & Kippa-Ring to Brisbane, many continuing to Ipswich, Rosewood and Springfield Central.
