Ovingham railway station is located on the Gawler line.[1] Situated in the inner northern Adelaide suburb of Ovingham, it is located 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) from Adelaide station.
History[]
The station opened in the early 1880s.
It is one of the very few stations in the network with no dedicated passenger parking. The station is serviced by two tracks. The two side platforms are accessible by pedestrian crossings at either end. The standard gauge line behind the Gawler bound platform is only used for interstate passenger and freight services. The station has two tin style shelters the same as at Kilkenny and Dudley Park .
Grade separation[]
Funding for a grade separation of Torrens Road and the Gawler line was announced in the 2019/2020 state budget, with a combined contribution of $231 million from the Federal and State governments.[2] The preferred design was revealed in June 2020 which would see an overpass built for Torrens Road to run over the Gawler line; the nearby intersection of Torrens and Churchill Roads would also be raised to meet the elevated height of Torrens Road. Major construction is expected to commence in 2021 with anticipated completion in 2023.[3]
