Integral part of the Valley

Brunswick Street Station is the network's third busiest station and is at the hub of Brisbane's multicultural and music scene.

As such, QR Citytrain has a vital role to play.  The station will be revamped to reflect the culture of the Valley and the artist's impression above demonstrates this open and contemporary design.

QR Citytrain will engage local artists and schools to assist with the artwork in the station.
