Which Queensland LGA has the most stations?

Continuing on from Melbourne, Victoria, Sydney, and New South Wales, we now focus on Queensland, the state that Melburnians love to flock to apparently.

For this spreadsheet, I tried something different. In my earlier spreadsheets the biggest city and the rest of the state each got their own spreadsheet. This was because I would do the LGAs for the city, and then at a later date, do the LGAs for the rest of the state.

For this spreadsheet however, Brisbane and the rest of Queensland are together.

Here is the spreadsheet in all its glory.

Some notes

- At eighty-five railway stations, Brisbane City council has the most stations out of any Australian LGA.

- Ipswich City is a distant second for Greater Brisbane, coming in at nineteen stations.

- There are only five LGAs in Greater Brisbane, with the remaining LGAs having sixteen (Moreton Bay), seven (Logan), or five stations (Redland).

- Ignoring Greater Brisbane, the Queensland LGA with the most stations is far and away the Sunshine Coast, with a grand total of eleven.

- Nothing much else to say, the data here is pretty much identical to Victorian and NSW LGAs.

Conclusion

A short post for this week due to being very busy with life and higher education, hope you enjoyed this blog!

Station Names on Melbourne's Sunbury Line

Moving along, we have another part of the name origin series that will be covered in this article. Today's topic, the Sunbury Line! Sunbury Line stations from the PTV map, does not include White City or Holden. This article will cover every station on the Sunbury Line from Middle Footscray to Sunbury. This includes eleven stations that are open and two that are currently closed. For information on stations such as North Melbourne, South Kensington, Footscray, you can view my article on the Williamstown line, which can be found here . With that out of the way, let us find out where some of these names come from! Middle Footscray Middle Footscray's name is of obvious origin, being right in between Footscray and West Footscray. I have already written in an earlier post that Footscray is named after the town of Foots Cray in England. West Footscray Footscray is the westernmost of the Footscray area's three stations and is located in the suburb of the same name. Prior to Septem

Station Names on Melbourne's Williamstown Line

Hi there! This post is the second part of a multipart series documenting the origins of the names given to stations that are apart of the Melbourne Metro network. This week's post will cover the fairly quiet Williamstown Line, which will include stations shared with the Werribee line, such as Newport and Yarraville. But before we get into this week's topic, I just want to mention a few things: Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has read the blog in the past few days, my post about the names of Melbourne's City Loop stations seemed to go down pretty well. Secondly, thank you to everyone who gave me feedback on how to improve this blog. I have added new information about Melbourne's City Loop, which you can read here. Thirdly, the next part of this series will cover the station's served by the Werribee Line, coming in two weeks. Next week's post will not have anything to do with station names. Now, with all that all said and done, let us head towards the m

Station Names on Melbourne's Upfield Line

And now we return to the names of Melbourne's train stations. For this part, the Upfield Line will be covered! Now let us cover the thirteen open and one closed station on this line! Macaulay  Macaulay is named after nearby Macaulay Road, which runs just south of the station. Flemington Bridge An odd name, Flemington Bridge is named after the bridge that carries Mount Alexander Road over the Moonee Ponds Creek . The name of Flemington is something that I have already covered in an earlier blog post, which you can find here .  Flemington Bridge's name has nothing to do with this bridge over Flemington Road Flemington Bridge originally opened as juat 'Flemington'. Royal Park Royal Park Station is smack bang in the middle of Royal Park. The name seems to have been inspired by the Royal Parks of London , which are named as such due to being owned by members of the Royal Family. Jewell This station is named after James Jewell, an MP serving the Brunswick Electorate from 191
