I visited Dakabin station on 6 November 2017.
Dakabin station is located on the Caboolture and Sunshine Coast lines and is served by train services from Caboolture and Nambour to Roma Steet with many continuing to Ipswich. Dakabin is located 32.9 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 38 minutes.
Dakabin is situated in zone 3 meaning the fares between Dakabin and Roma Street are:
Dakabin station opened in 1913. It was planned to be the junction of the Redcliffe Peninsula line until it was later decided to be Petrie. The line was duplicated through the station from Northgate to Caboolture in 1917. On 28 June 1986, the line was electrified from Petrie to Caboolture which resulted in the line being realligned between Petrie and Narangba. In 2012, the Dakabin Station Action Group was founded to lobby for an upgrade to the station for wheelchair access and better parking and Dakabin station is now being upgraded.
Dakabin station serves the homonymous suburb of Dakabin. It was named after the Yugerabul indigenous tribe’s word meaning grass tree or grass root.
Dakabin station itself has two platforms consisting of two side platforms. Platform 1 is for inbound services and platform 2 is for outbound services.
Dakabin station has two station entrances. One is from the Narangba Road side and the other is on the Thompson Road side.
