Hawthorn railway station, Adelaide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawthorn railway station ( 34°58′S, 138°36′E), a station on the Belair Railway Line, located in the inner southern suburb of Hawthorn 7.5 km by rail from Adelaide Railway Station was closed in 1995. It runs parallel to the tree-lined Egmont Tce. It is very close to Unley Park station, and consists of two earth-filled concrete faced platforms, one each side of the dual lines, which were originally both broad gauge. Each platform had a timber and iron open passenger shelter, and there was a ticket office at the foot of the Western platform which was manned only at peak hours in the 1960s.

On all Adelaide Metro rail network maps (in most carriages), you can see the gap on the Belair line where this, and other disused stations on the Belair line, have been removed.
