Route
The line runs from the Adelaide Railway Station south west via the suburbs of Edwardstown, Oaklands Park and Marion to the coast at Brighton, where it turns south towards Noarlunga Centre in the southern suburbs. The line was known as the Marino and Hallett Cove line when it finished at Hallett Cove. Most trains terminated at Marino, with only about a quarter going to Hallett Cove.
Like the rest of the Adelaide network, the line is broad gauge (1600mm). It is approximately 30.2 kilometres long and is the second longest of the Adelaide suburban railway lines. Signalling is controlled remotely from TransAdelaide’s computerised train control centre at Adelaide station. The line is double track.
The ARTC standard-gauge main line crosses this line just south of Goodwood station.

“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
