History
The station opened in the early 1880s.
It is one of the very few stations in the network with no dedicated passenger parking. The station is serviced by two tracks. The two side platforms are accessible by pedestrian crossings at either end. The standard gauge line behind the Gawler bound platform is only used for interstate passenger and freight services. The station has two tin style shelters the same as at Kilkenny and Dudley Park .

gollark: Maybe someone actually *has* been insane enough to make GCC able to compile to LLVM, who knows.
gollark: Oh, right. That would have been easier than doing it by hand.
gollark: Did you just randomly decide to calculate that?
gollark: Well, you can, or also "it would have about the same mass as the atmosphere".
gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
