Ascot Park railway station is located on the Seaford line. [1] Situated in the south-western Adelaide suburb of Ascot Park, it is 10.2 kilometres from Adelaide station.
Ascot Park was opened on 6 April 1914. [2] [3] When the Hallett Cove line was duplicated in 1955, the single platform was converted to an island platform. [4] As part of a grade separation project to eliminate the Daws Road and Marion Road level crossings, the station was demolished and rebuilt, reopening in March 1974. [5] [6] [7] The station shelters were replaced in 2014 when the line was electrified and extended to Seaford.[ citation needed ]
The station is located just south of where the Flinders line branches off. The station has two tracks, either side of an island platform with a pedestrian subway connecting the platform to the two adjacent streets.
