From Monday 22 January 2024 until late-2024, Morningside station will close for a major station accessibility upgrade.
This means Cleveland line services will not stop at Morningside for the duration of the works.
While the station is closed, alternative transport options will be available; including the new route 237 - Cannon Hill to Morningside service.
See all the alternative travel options below.
Key upgrade features
- A new footbridge with lift access

Alternative travel options
The new route 237 service will run between Cannon Hill station and Morningside station, with additional stops along Wynnum Road.
This is a temporary service running for the duration of the Morningside station closure.
Timetables
Route 237 will run every 15 minutes or better in peak hour (6am to 9am, and 3pm to 6pm on weekdays).
