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:
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
