The Seaford line will temporarily close this long weekend to safely allow important improvement works to occur.
The full Seaford/Flinders line will be closed over the long weekend from 9pm Thursday, 25 January 2024 to last service Sunday, 28 January 2024, to undertake refurbishment and renewal works. The upgrades include rerailing, tamping, signalling works and timber sleeper replacement.
The Seaford line is an important connection from Adelaide Railway station to the south of the city and was electrified back in 2014.
During the closure, the Noarlunga Railway Station escalators will be removed, in preparation for the installation of the new escalators in March, which will require a further partial line closure. Substitute buses will replace trains between Adelaide Railway Station and Seaford Railway Station during the January closure.
The Woodlands Park Railway Station is closed until late April 2024, to refurbish and update the platform.
Edwardstown Railway Station has become the new temporary transfer point for passengers, with express train services running between Adelaide Railway Station and Edwardstown Railway Station. A substitute bus service is operating between Woodlands Park and Edwardstown Railway stations to transport passengers to and from the stations.
