History
Doonside station opened on 27 September 1880.
It was renamed Wolkara on 1 February 1921, before resuming its original name 12 days later. The station was rebuilt in the 1950s when the Main Western line was electrified.[3]
On the 2nd of December 2023, an upgrade to the station was complete which included the addition of lifts, upgraded canopies and the relocation of the stairs on Platforms 3 and 4 to the eastern end of the platforms, in order to match Platforms 1 and 2.[4]
