When the state government announced its decision to replace Labor’s Cross River Rail tunnel with its own Bus and Train tunnel, axing Dutton Park station was one cost-saving measure.

The state government in November decided to close the station and replace it with a pedestrian bridge from the bottom end of the Princess Alexandra Hospital to Park Road train station.
