Eden Hills railway station is a station on the Belair railway line located in the Adelaide southern foothills suburb of Eden Hills. It is 14.2km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.
Eden Hills is the only station on the current TransAdelaide network to have a tunnel on either side. The original line through Eden Hills was opened in 1883, as part of the Adelaide-Nairne railway. However, this station was not opened until 1911 and originally named Eden.[1] Prior to that, there was no station between Mitcham and Blackwood, although the train would slow through Eden Hills, allowing passengers to drop off parcels and bags to persons standing along the line.[2]
The railway station once had a ticket office and shelter on the former down (eastern) platform, like the one at Long Gully, and a shelter on the up (western) platform. The down platform shelter and ticket office have since been demolished (circa 1983), as well as the shelter on the up platform . A newer shelter has since been built (2009). As part of the renewal of the Belair line in 2009, improvements to access ramps, seating, fencing, lighting, signage and safety markings have taken place at Eden Hills.[3]
