Royal Adelaide Show
Goodwood station is the main railway station servicing the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds. However, in recent years during the Royal Adelaide Show Week, TransAdelaide has closed platform 1 at Goodwood, and exclusively devoted the eastern-most of the four tracks between Adelaide and Goodwood to a non-stop shuttle service between platform 1 at Adelaide Railway Station and a temporary platform at the Showgrounds named "Showground Central". During this period, Belair Line movements are merged with Noarlunga Line movements through platforms 2 and 3 at Goodwood.

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or show:
“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud—what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
