History

Pinera was opened in the 1920s as Overway Bridge. The name was derived from the bridge which carries Main Road over a cutting immediately west of the station. The cutting came about when the former No. 5 Tunnel was opened as a result of the duplication of the line between Eden Hills and Belair during the 1920s. The station was renamed Pinera in the 1950s.

In 1995, the inbound line was converted to standard gauge as part of the One Nation Adelaide-Melbourne line gauge conversion project. At some stage the eastern platform was demolished.
