Services
Trains to and from Adelaide operate every 30 minutes off-peak Monday to Friday, and through the day on Saturday and Sunday. Before 11am and after 2pm on weekdays the frequency is increased to one train every 15 minutes. In the evening, trains run every hour. Some stations are also serviced by trains from Brighton and from the Tonsley branch line on weekdays.
Most trainss are operated by 3000 class railcars off-peak, at weekends and at night. Single cars operate off-peak trains to Brighton, and all trains to Noarlunga Centre are at least two cars. 2000 class railcars (usually three-car sets) operate most Monday to Friday peak trains, sometimes on weekends, plus a few off-peak trains on weekdays.
A number of railcars needed for peak-hour services are stabled overnight in secure sidings at Port Stanvac, around 4 km (2½ miles) north and just beyond Lonsdale station.
There are no freight trains on the line, oil freight trains to/from Port Stanvac ceased operation during the 1990s

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
