Keswick railway station, Adelaide

Keswick railway station was a station on the Belair, Seaford and Tonsley lines, and was located in the inner western Adelaide suburb of Keswick. It was located 3.8 kilometres from Adelaide station. Adjacent to the station lay Adelaide Parklands Terminal, that was formerly named Keswick Terminal.HistoryKeswick station was opened on Sunday 6 April 1913. Within months of opening, a station master was appointed to manage bulk goods business, including firewood and sand bricks. A ticket office was added in 1927. The station was demolished in March 2013 during the closure of the Noarlunga/Seaford and Tonsley lines, in preparation for the electrification of those lines. At the time of its closure, it was the only station on the Adelaide suburban system without wheelchair access, the steep terrain and sparse patronage being prohibitive.A new Adelaide Showground station south of Greenhill Road and the Anzac Highway, opened on 17 February 2014, replacing Keswick as well as the annual temporary Showground Central station.
