History
Pomona railway station opened in 1891 with the opening of the line from Cooran to Cooroy.[1]
The station today consists of one platform with a steel shelter. In 2009, the platform was extended with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.
The temporary platform was washed away, and had to be rebuilt, following flooding in 2012. The temporary platform remains in a flood-prone location. However, it is due to be replaced with a permanent platform by the end of 2016. Queensland Rail is proposing to close an existing cross-town pedestrian crossing over the North Coast Line linking to the station, forcing pedestrians to make a 400m detour.
Services
Pomona is serviced by two daily City network services in each direction.[4]
