I visited Dutton Park station on 4 September 2018.
Dutton Park is located on the Beenleigh line. It is served by train services from Beenleigh and Coopers Plains to Bowen Hills with many continuing to Ferny Grove. Dutton Park is located 5.2 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 12 minutes.
Dutton Park is situated in zone 1 meaning the fares between Dutton Park and Roma Street are:
Dutton Park station opened as Boggo Junction in 1884 as it was the junction with the Woolloongabba line which closed in 1889 and the station was renamed Dutton Park in 1914. After the 1893 floods the line from Dutton Park to Yeronga was realigned above flood level and it was duplicated to Yeerongpilly. In September 1930, the standard gauge for Sydney services opened to the west of the station. On 18 September 1982, the line was electrified through the station from Roma Street to Kingston. In 1995, the standard gauge to the west of the station was converted to a dual gauge and duplicated for the Gold Coast line. It was announced in early 2014, that the station would be closed if the Bus and Train tunnel proceeded. In June that year it was announced that by slightly increasing the gradient of the line, Dutton Park station would not need to be demolished. The project was cancelled in March 2015.
Dutton Park station serves the homonymous suburb of Dutton Park which was named after Charles Boyden Dutton who was the Minister for Lands from 1883 to 1887.

Dutton Park does have disability access however assistance is required due to the steep ramps.
