Mawson Interchange is a railway station and bus interchange in the new, developing suburb of Mawson Lakes, north of Adelaide, South Australia. The Interchange serves nearby residential and commercial developments and also the Mawson Lakes campus of the University of South Australia and Technology Park.
Mawson Interchange is on the Gawler railway line. 14.3 km from Adelaide Railway Station. It opened on 26 February 2006 and is the first new railway station to be built in Adelaide for more than 20 years (since the extension of the Noarlunga Centre line).
As development in the area continues, Mawson Interchange is expected to become one of Adelaide's five busiest stations. There is no staffed ticket office, but it has been designated a Safer Station with enhanced lighting, CCTV surveillance and security help phones provided. A kiosk is open during business hours selling food, drinks and tickets etc., and a waiting room is also provided on the main platform which offers a warmer place to sit in winter but is seldom used in summer because of a lack of air-conditioning. It is the only station/interchange that has a waiting room in Adelaide. But with all the station upgrades there could be more waiting rooms in the Adelaide Metro Rail system.

Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
