Womma railway station is a railway station on the Gawler railway line which is located in the northern Adelaide suburbs of Elizabeth North and Elizabeth West. It is located 27.3 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.
Womma opened in the 1950s and had a small building on the platform which consisted of a shelter, with a ticket office and toilets on either side but they were demolished in the 1980s and early 1990s. Only the shelter remains.
Passengers were required to access the station via a pedestrian underpass, but it has since been closed due to concerns of safety and vandalism. There are two low-level crossings for people to reach the station.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
