Oxford Park railway station is located on the Ferny Grove line in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. [1] It is one of two railway stations serving the Brisbane suburb of Mitchelton, the other being Mitchelton railway station.
The station's development arose from public demand claiming there was a need for a station between Mitchelton railway station and Grovely railway station. It has been claimed that the precise location chosen was to facilitate the planned construction of the Catholic Church's Redemptorist Monastery. [2] [3]
The station opened in 1920 and was named by the Queensland Railway Department on 9 April 1920. Oxford Park was the name of an adjacent residential subdivision (sold from 1913). [1] [2] [4]
The station was upgraded in 2008 as part of the Mitchelton to Keperra duplication project. [5]
Oxford Park station is served by all stops Ferny Grove line services from Ferny Grove to Roma Street, Boggo Road (formerly known as Park Road), Coopers Plains and Beenleigh. [6]
