Richlands railway station is located on the Springfield line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Richlands.
Richlands opened on 17 January 2011 as the terminus of what was then the Richlands Line. The line has since been extended to Springfield Central.
The station multi-storey car park has 650 car parking spaces for vehicles.[1]
Construction started on the station on 1 July 2008.[2] The planning included about 650 car parks, a bus interchange, bicycle lockers and a drop-off area.[3]
The station was due to open on 23 January 2011 with no services due to scheduled maintenance works on the Ipswich line,[2] but due to the Queensland floods the opening was brought forward to 17 January 2011 in order to assist with the recovery efforts.[4] On 2 December 2013, the line was extended to Springfield Central.[5] [6]
