Lindum railway station is located in the Bayside suburb of Lindum, on the Cleveland line in Queensland, Australia. It primarily services the Brisbane suburb of Wynnum West and the predominantly industrial areas of Hemmant. Iona College, a secondary school, is situated at its Lindum address adjacent to the railway station.
The location of "Lindum" was once a suburb named for a residential house in the area. In the 1980s, Lindum ceased to exist as a suburb and is now recognised as a locality within the broader suburb of Wynnum West. Many local residents, both old and new - are working to bring back Lindum as an official locality. Many descendants of those early Lindum pioneer families are still living in the area.[1]
In November 1996, the Fisherman Islands line to the Port of Brisbane opened to the north of the station. It branches off to the east of the station.[2][3]
