Services
Since the station reopened, only a limited number of trains stop at this station between 6:00 and 9:45 am and 1:30 and 7:00pm weekdays only (plus one train to Adelaide near 11pm). The station was closed for a brief period in the 1990s due to the terrible state that the station was in. Special event trains for the annual Skyshow fireworks event have used this station as a terminus. When the Schutzenfest is held at the nearby Bonython Park in January each year, most trains stop at this station. On weekends and public holidays, all trains run express through the station.
In 1969, all trains except express trains stopped here every day.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
