History

Elizabeth station opened in 1960.

It was first rebuilt in 1999 with one island platform that was accessible by an underground pedestrian subway, and included a 40–50 metre roof. In March 2012, the station was rebuilt in a $15 million project. The work involved demolition of the island platform, construction of two side platforms, the track was re-aligned, and other changes were made in preparation for the electrification of the Gawler Central line in 2021.[2][3][4][5][6][7] As some peak-hour services were to terminate at Elizabeth, the rebuild included the addition of a siding just north of the station to allow trains to stable clear of the main line. The western platform is accessed both by a level crossing and an overpass; the level crossing is used for emergencies only.
