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 500m south of the 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. There is a shelter (the bench is gone though) and disused PA speaker on the down platform. The platform on the standard gauge side may be on the ARTC "Hit list" of disused platforms to be removed.[citation needed]

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