History
On 28 August 2000, a third platform opened as part of the addition of a third track from Northgate to Bald Hills.<ref>"Queensland Update" Railway Digest January 2000 page 13</ref><ref>"Northgate – Bald Hills Third Track Opens" Railway Digest October 2000 page 11</ref>
In June 2013, a construction crew of an overpass at the Geebung railway station in northern Brisbane uncovered the 50-million-year-old fossilized remains (vertebrae) of a 5-metre crocodile trapped in a layer of oil shale. Workers drilling holes as part of an overpass reach the crocodile remains, as well as frogs, fish and plant fossils, in the spoil, the oil shale rock and soil found in the excavation pit. The fossil remains were discovered by a work crew drilling a hole for a bridge support over an area called the Zillman Waterholes.<ref>Phenomenal fossil find in Brisbane's north Template:Webarchive Brisbane Times 16 July 2013</ref>
In 2014, the level crossing to the south of the station was replaced by a bridge.<ref>Road Overpass Bridge Opens to Traffic Template:Webarchive Geebung Overpass Alliance April 2014</ref>
