Eumundi railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the town of Eumundi in the Sunshine Coast Region.

History

The original Eumundi station opened in 1891 with the opening of the North Coast line on the site of the present day Eumundi Markets. The current station opened in 1988 when a new ten kilometre alignment was built as part of the electrification of the North Coast line.[1][2]

The station today consists of one platform with a steel shelter. In 2009, the platform was extended with scaffolding and plywood materials.[3] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[4] Eumundi, unlike most other stations on the line, doesn't have a passing loop, although these exists a few kilometres north and south of the station.

Services

Eummundi is serviced by two daily City network services in each direction.[5]
