Greenfields railway station is located on the Gawler line.[1] Situated adjacent to Parafield Airport, in the northern Adelaide suburb of Parafield, it is 15.5 kilometres (9.6 mi) from Adelaide station.

History

[edit]

The station opened in 1969 as Green Field, later changing to Greenfields.[when?]

It is one of only two stations on the Gawler Central line to have a pedestrian underpass (the other is Parafield Gardens). The other stations have had theirs closed due to concerns with safety and vandalism.[citation needed] To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.

In 2021, it has received several upgrades including a deep cleaning, fresh coat of paint, LED lighting and new bins. This is a part of the State governments station refresh program.

Platforms and Services

[edit]

Greenfields has two island platforms and is serviced by Adelaide Metro Gawler line services. Trains are scheduled every 30 minutes, seven days a week.[2]
