Royal Adelaide Show
Goodwood station is the main railway station servicing the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds. However, in recent years during the Royal Adelaide Show Week, TransAdelaide has closed platform 1 at Goodwood, and exclusively devoted the eastern-most of the four tracks between Adelaide and Goodwood to a non-stop shuttle service between platform 1 at Adelaide Railway Station and a temporary platform at the Showgrounds named "Showground Central". During this period, Belair Line movements are merged with Noarlunga Line movements through platforms 2 and 3 at Goodwood.

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or show:
“The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
And dined in a royal way
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
And gummery bread each day.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, II, ch.3 (1985)
