Services
Since the station reopened, only a limited number of trains stop at this station between 6:00 and 9:45 am and 1:30 and 7:00pm weekdays only (plus one train to Adelaide near 11pm). The station was closed for a brief period in the 1990s due to the terrible state that the station was in. Special event trains for the annual Skyshow fireworks event have used this station as a terminus. When the Schutzenfest is held at the nearby Bonython Park in January each year, most trains stop at this station. On weekends and public holidays, all trains run express through the station.
In 1969, all trains except express trains stopped here every day.

So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”

To thee a woman’s services are due.”
