I visited Thorneside station on 23 February 2018.
Thorneside is located on the Cleveland Line and is served by all train services travelling from Cleveland to Bowen Hills with many continuing to Shorncliffe. Thorneside is located 29.8 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 47 minutes.
Thorneside is situated in zone 2 meaning the fares between Thorneside and Roma Street are:
Thorneside station opened in 1889 as Waterloo at the same time as the line. It was closed in 1890 and reopened again in 1909 as Ransome’s railway siding. In 1912, the station closed as Ransome’s railway siding was relocated over Tingalpa Creek. In 1917, the station reopened under it’s current name, Thorneside. On 1 November 1960, the station was closed due to the truncation of the line to Lota. It was rebuilt and reopened on 26 July 1986 when the line was rebuilt to Wellington Point.
Thorneside serves the homonymous suburb of Thorneside which was named after local landowner William Thorne.
Thorneside station has two platforms consisting of an island platform. Platform 1 is for outbound services and platform 2 is for inbound services. A locomotive turning triangle is located south of the station.
Thorneside station only has one station entrance which is from the carpark on Railway Parade.
Thorneside station does have disability access however assistance is required due to the steep ramp.
There is a bus stop outside the station in the carpark on Railway Parade serving nearby suburbs. The route that serves Thorneside is route 253.
