History
Ascot station opened on 3 September 1882 as Hendra Siding coinciding with that of the Pinkenba railway line. It was later renamed Racecourse and eventually renamed as Ascot.<ref>Ascot Template:Webarchive Centre for the Government of Queensland</ref> 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. Trains continued to serve Ascot when major race events were held.
Passenger services resumed on 27 January 1998, but only as far as Doomben with bus connections to the other abandoned stations.<ref>Doomben Rail Service Resume January 27 Template:Webarchive Queensland Government 21 January 1998</ref>
