History
A station first opened at Wirragulla on 14 August 1911 and this station featured a proper platform. On 20 October 1975, the station was demolished and replaced with the current concrete (wooden until c. 2017) platform to reduce the maintenance costs.[2] In the late 1990s it was proposed that Wirragulla, along with Allandale and Belford would be closed, as all three stations had extremely low patronage, and there were some safety concerns at these stations. The proposal to close these stations was later withdrawn (though Allandale and Belford stations ended up shutting in 2005).
