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:
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—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)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
