Glanville Railway Station
Glanville Interchange railway station is a railway station with four platforms on the Outer Harbor railway line which is located in the northwestern Adelaide suburb of Glanville on the LeFevre Peninsula. It is located 13.8 km (8 miles 44 chains) by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station. The station is one of the busiest stations on the Outer Harbour Line, especially during peak hour and when trains do a shuttle terminus at Glanville. Also the second morning service to Glanville is always a two car 2000 class jumbo.
Today, Glanville is a broad gauge (1600mm) only station, served only by suburban passenger trains, run by Adelaide Metro. During weekday peak periods, Glanville becomes the Outer Harbour line's only intermediate terminus. Two services in the morning and one in the evening terminate here, to form as supplements for express services to the city.

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)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
