Shorncliffe station officially re-opened this morning, after an 8 month closure for refurbishments and upgrades, including the restoration of several historic features. The new station features a 90m accessible raised platform, an accessible access ramp, upgraded wayfinding, and other improvements.
While making the station step-free is a significant improvement, BTQ remains concerned with the decision to not provide a full-length, full-height platform when upgrading the station. This represents a downgrade when compared to recent accessibility rebuilds, and will require additional costly and time-consuming closures to remedy in the future. We also encourage state government and QR to focus on accelerating the station accessibility upgrade program in order to ensure our network is accessible before the 2032 olympics.
