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:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“He could walk, or rather turn about in his little garden, and feel more solid happiness from the flourishing of a cabbage or the growing of a turnip than was ever received from the most ostentatious show the vanity of man could possibly invent. He could delight himself with thinking, “Here will I set such a root, because my Camilla likes it; here, such another, because it is my little David’s favorite.””
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
