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:
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
