I visited Clayfield station on 28 November 2017.
Clayfield is located on the Doomben line and is served by train services from Doomben to Roma Street. Clayfield is located 8.1 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 20 minutes.
Clayfield is situated in zone 1 meaning the fares between Clayfield and Roma Street are:
Clayfield station opened on 3 September 1882, at the same time as the Pinkenba line. The line was electrified on 6 February 1988. Passenger services were suspended on the line on 27 September 1993 due to a statewide rationalisation of the rail network which resulted with the closing or suspension of under-utilised lines. Only services would travel on the line for race days. On 27 January 1998, scheduled passenger services resumed on the line, but only as far as Doomben. A bus connection is available to the other stations.
Clayfield station serves the homonymous suburb of Clayfield which was named after the white-grey clay that was mined in the area.
Clayfield station only has one platform which is used for services travelling in both directions.
Clayfield station only has one entrance which is via Sandgate Road.
Clayfield does have disability access however assistance is required due to the steep ramp.
There are bus stops nearby on Sandgate Road serving nearby suburbs. The routes that serve Clayfield are routes 306 and 322.
Clayfield has an island platform even though there is a track on only one side. This is because there were plans to duplicate the line which didn’t happen.
