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)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
