Flinders railway station

Flinders railway station is an under-construction station on the Tonsley line in the southern Adelaide suburb of Bedford Park. It will serve the adjacent Flinders Medical Centre precinct and become the new terminus of the line.

History
A rail extension to Flinders Medical Centre had previously been mooted in July 2008 with the State Government commissioning a feasibility study, but nothing eventuated. Years later in May 2016, as part of the Liberal Party's election campaign for the federal election later that year, $43 million in funding was promised towards extending the line. The extension, known as the Flinders Link Project is being built concurrently with the adjacent Darlington Interchange for the North–South Motorway and will be located to the east of the interchange with a large rail overpass and pedestrian bridge connecting the existing rail corridor and the new station. major works commenced in July 2019 with expected completion in 2020.

The completed station will be accessible from the Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders Private Hospital, and will be within walking distance to the bus interchange adjacent to Flinders Medical Centre. Transport links to Flinders University are also available within walking distance. Flinders University is also planning to develop the station precinct into Flinders Village, a development containing student accommodation, a health research centre, shops and a hotel.
