History

In 1889, the Cleveland line was extended from Manly to the original Cleveland station.[1][2]

On 1 November 1960, Lota became the terminus of the line when it was curtailed.[3] The line from Lota to Cleveland was rebuilt, and reopened on a new alignment to Thorneside on 25 September 1982 and Cleveland on 24 October 1987.[4][5][6]

In 1995, the timber building was replaced by a brick structure and a crossing loop added.[5] In 2006 the wooden rail bridge leading to the station from the north was replaced with a concrete bridge.[7]

Services

Lota is served by Cleveland line services from Shorncliffe, Northgate, Doomben and Bowen Hills to Cleveland.[8]
