I visited Enoggera station on 8 July 2018.
Enoggera is located on the Ferny Grove line and is served by all train services travelling from Ferny Grove to Roma Street with many continuing to Beenleigh and Coopers Plains. Enoggera is located 9.6 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 21 minutes.
Enoggera is located on the boundary of zones 1 and 2 meaning that the fares between Enoggera and Roma Street are:
Enoggera station opened in 1899 as the terminus of the line. The line was extended to Samford in 1918 and onto Dayboro in 1920. The line was duplicated between Newmarket and Mitchelton in 1953. In 1955, the line was closed beyond Ferny Grove due to the declining freight traffic as a result of the increasing popularity of road transport. The line was electrified on 17 November 1979.
Enoggera station was named after the homonymous suburb of Enoggera which was incorrectly spelt by the Government Lands office, when the letter u was mistaken for n. It was intended for the name to be recorded as Euoggera coming from the Turrbal indigenous tribe’s phrase “youara-ngarea” referring to a ceremonial site for dancing near the mouth of Breakfast Creek.
Enoggera station has two platforms consisting of an island platform. Platform 1 is for inbound services and platform 2 is for outbound services.
Enoggera station has two entrances. One is to the bus interchange and the other is the walkway to Wardell Street and Bowling Street.
Enoggera does have disability access however assistance is required due to the steep ramp.
There is a bus interchange outside the station and bus stops nearby on Wardell Street serving nearby suburbs. The routes serving Enoggera station are routes 350, 351, 353, 357, 359, 360, 361, 372, 390 as well as Great Circle Line routes 598 and 599.
