History

The station opened in 1883 and was originally named Brighton Parade. [3] In 1995, the western side platform was closed when the inbound line was converted to standard gauge as part of the One Nation Adelaide-Melbourne line gauge conversion project. The station now consists of a single platform with a covered shelter which serves trains going in both directions.

As part of the renewal of the Belair line in 2009, improvements to access ramps, seating, fencing, lighting, signage and safety markings have taken place at Coromandel. [4] [5] Under the 'Adopt a Station' program run by TransAdelaide, the station was adopted by the Blackwood Neighbourhood Watch group, who have assumed responsibility for the removal of graffiti, assisting with the landscaping of the station grounds and reporting vandalism incidents.
