I visited Coomera station on 25 February 2018.
Coomera is located on the Gold Coast Line and is served by all train services travelling from Varsity Lakes and Bowen Hills with many continuing to Domestic Terminal. Coomera is located 58.8 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 1 hour.
Coomera is situated in zone 4 meaning the fares between Coomera and Roma Street are:
The original Coomera station opened on 24 January 1889, when the line was extended from Beenleigh to Southport. The original site of the station was in a linear park on Heathwood Drive beside the Pacific Motorway, now in Upper Coomera. The station opened at its current location on 25 February 1996, when the line was rebuilt from Beenleigh to Helensvale. It was extended to Nerang on 16 December 1997, then to Robina on 31 May 1998 and to Varsity Lakes on 13 December 2009. In 2017 the line was duplicated from Coomera to Helensvale to allow additional capacity in time for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Coomera serves the homonymous suburb of Coomera which was named after the local Yugambeh indigenous tribe’s word referring to ‘a species of wattle tree which the bark was used to stun fish’.
The station itself has two platforms consisting of an island platform. Platform 1 is for outbound services and platform 2 is used for inbound services.
Coomera station has two station entrances which are to the carparks on either side of the station.
Coomera station does have disability access.
There is a bus interchange outside the station in the western carpark. The routes that serve Coomera are routes 721, 722, 723, 725, 726, 727 and TX7 (to Helensvale via Theme Parks).
