Trinder Park station will be relocated to the edge of Acacia Forest Park and the park ‘n’ ride moved to Candish Street, minimising environmental impacts and improving connections to the station from both sides of the rail corridor.

The updated design also includes a new road-over-rail bridge linking to Acacia Road, together with walking and cycling connections.

Trinder Crossing level crossing between Railway Parade and Station Road, Woodridge will be closing as part of the project. A new road-over-rail bridge will provide a cross-corridor connection at Acacia Road, with a realigned Railway Parade connecting through to Smith Road.

Walking and cycle paths will also be provided on Smith Road, Railway Parade and Acacia Road, as well as across the rail corridor.

The curved section of track near Trinder Park station, which was originally constructed in 1888, is one of the sharpest on the South East Queensland rail network. Straightening the curve through the Trinder Park area will improve track speeds and sight distances, contribute to reduced journey time and improved reliability for customers. The alignment will also allow the new Trinder Park station to be located on straight track to ensure a high standard of accessibility for customers.

Most importantly, the track straightening in combination with removing the existing Trinder Crossing level crossing will significantly contribute to improving future rail operational safety.
