Re: Unopened Platforms

["MattyQ" <matticueQ@corplink.com.au>]

Unopened platforms in Brisbane (current):-

Oxford Park (Ferny Grove line) island platform, one track.
Clayfield (Pinkenba line) island platform, one track.
Darra (Ipswich line) no track on platform 1.

Unopened platforms in Brisbane (historical) :-
Toombul (North Coast line) no track on platform 4.
Nundah (North Coast line) no track on platform 3.
   These stations always had 2 island platforms for years before the 4th
track was laid.
Sunshine (North Coast line) there was a concrete platform edge adjacent the
Up line. It
   did not have coping stones. It has since been demolished to make way for
the new
   Up platform when the 3rd road is completed.
In 1981, there were 6 platforms at Central but platform 6 had no track. A
few years later,
   the platform 5 track was moved over to platform 6 until construction
started on the
   current day Central station.
