Toombul station opened in circa 1901. The North Coast line was electrified to Northgate in 1982 and as a result in the increase of patronage as a result of electrification resulted in the quadruplication to Northgate in 1996. Toombul was named after the former shire council with the same name. It gets it's name from an aboriginal expression referring to a place of hoop pines.
Toombul station has four platforms consisting of two island platforms. Platforms one and two are for Shorncliffe line services and platforms three and four are not in use as they were for Caboolture and Sunshine Coast line services which from 4 October 2016 are now running express from Petrie to Bowen Hills stopping only at Northgate and Eagle Junction coinciding with the opening of the Redcliffe Peninsula Line opening which don't stop at Toombul either.
