Gawler Oval railway station is a railway station on the Gawler railway line in the South Australian town of Gawler. It is located 41.4 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station. During 2006 the platform at Gawler Oval was extended to accommodate 3 car trains. A new passenger shelter was also installed. Before the platform was lengthened, only 2 car trains could use the platform, and the train had to be stopped precisely so that none of the train doors were beyond the ends of the platform.

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)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
