Islington railway station is located on the Gawler line.[1] Situated in the inner northern Adelaide suburb of Prospect adjacent to Regency Road, it is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Adelaide station.
History
[edit]It is unclear when the station opened.
North of the station lie the Islington Railway Workshops.[2] To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook. Opposite the station lay a TNT yard that was also used by Holden. The yard had closed by the late 1990s, and remained unused until 2008 when it was completely demolished to make way for a new residential development. In 2014, decontamination of the site commenced.[3]
The station was refurbished in early 2022 during electrification works on the Gawler line. The refurbishment of the station included platform resurfacing, new shelters, seating, wayfinding, and lighting.[4]
