Ipswich railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the urban centre of Ipswich.
The first railway station opened in Ipswich in 1865. It was the first railway station built in Queensland, as the first terminus for the 34 kilometre section of the Main line from Grandchester. In 1887, the station was completely rebuilt.
Two pieces of associated historic railway infrastructure are the:
The cabin, turnable, rail bridge and railway workshops are all listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.
In 1978, a large office and retail complex (currently known as Ipswich Central Plaza) was built above the station and spanning both sides of Bell Street following the sale of the air rights. On 20 September 1980, the line was electrified from Darra. The last remaining old platform and buildings were demolished in 1985.
Ipswich is served by City network services from Nambour, Caboolture, Petrie and Bowen Hills. Most services terminate at Ipswich although some peak-hour services continue to Rosewood. At other times a shuttle service operates between Ipswich and Rosewood.
Ipswich is also served by Traveltrain's twice weekly Westlander service travelling between Brisbane and Charleville.
