Gawler Central railway station

Gawler Central railway station is the terminus station of the Gawler line. Situated in the South Australian town of Gawler, it is 42.2 km from Adelaide station.

History
The station opened in May 1911 as Willaston, being renamed North Gawler in September 1911, and Gawler Central on 12 February 1984. In the early 1920s the South Australian Railways decided to extend suburban service to all stations within a 25 mi radius of Adelaide station. North Gawler, which is located 26 miles 14 chains from Adelaide, was not included.

Gawler Central is now the terminus of the line. It had previously continued north as the Barossa Valley line, being served by Genesee & Wyoming Australia’s daily Penrice Stone Train. This service ceased in June 2014.
