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:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
