Glanville railway station

Glanville railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line. Situated in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Glanville, it is 13.8 kilometres from Adelaide station.

History
The station opened in 1878 with the extension of the Adelaide to Port Adelaide railway to Semaphore. This remained the main line, until the extension of the current line from Glanville towards Outer Harbor. The Semaphore branch line ran mainly in the middle of Dunnikier Road (later renamed Semaphore Road) and remained open until 1978.

Up until February 2013, a number of peak hour services from Adelaide terminated at Glanville using the bay platform, however these were withdrawn in favour of terminating services at Osborne. Since then, the bay platform has been mostly used for major events in the city that require extra trains (such as an AFL Showdown or the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant), or for substitute trains whenever a cruise liner is docked at Outer Harbor, as the main train would often be packed. This often results in express service for the main train from Glanville, while the substitute train stops at all stations.

Starting on April 22, 2018, the bay platform is once again used for several morning peak services.

In 2017, during a week-long closure, Glanville station was repainted as part of a program to decorate railway stations across Adelaide.
