Kudla Railway Station is on the Gawler railway line in Adelaide, South Australia in the locality of Kudla. The Kudla railway station is immediately north of where the line crosses Dalkeith Road. The station was originally opened in 1959, possibly with a 'step down' platform like the one at Chidda, but the current platform was constructed in 1961. By around 1987 the current platform shelter had been installed.
The station is one of the least used on the entire network, due to it being located in a semi-rural neighbourhood between the suburban areas of Munno Para, Evanstown and Gawler.
Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
