Hendra station opened on 3 September 1882 coinciding with that of the
Pinkenba railway line. The line was electrified on 6 February 1988. All passenger services on the line were suspended on 27 September 1993 as part of a statewide
rationalisation of the rail network with the closing or suspending of under-utilised or unprofitable rail lines. Only on days of major race events at nearby
Eagle Farm and
Doomben race tracks did few special services run on the line, and only to adjoining stations of
Ascot and
Doomben. Passenger services resumed on 27 January 1998, but only as far as Doomben with bus connections to the other abandoned stations. ==Services==
