Next stop: Port Dock
Sunday, 25 August 2024
For the first time in over 40 years, trains are running into the heart of Port Adelaide, with the Port Dock spur line and station now open.
The $51 million project has re-established the 1km line and train station, which were previously decommissioned in 1981. It provides rail services for those who already call the area home and the many more set to live, work and visit Port Adelaide into the future.
It will also serve as an important destination station for visitors to the Port’s tourist attractions and commercial centre.
In addition to the new rail line and station, the completed project includes:
- a new plaza at Baker Street
- a bus interchange at the existing Lipson Street car park, and
- landscaping around the station, plaza and along the rail corridor, including improved connection to the Outer Harbor Greenway for pedestrians and cyclists.
Port Dock services will operate every 30 minutes on weekdays and weekends, stopping at all stops from Adelaide Railway Station.
Several bus routes and timetables have been updated to extend services through to the new bus interchange on Lipson Street, adjacent to Port Dock station.
Passengers are encouraged to visit www.adelaidemetro.com.au to check the updated timetables and plan their trip with Adelaide Metro’s journey planner.
A community event was on Saturday 24 August 2024 held at the new Port Dock Station to celebrate the official opening, and to thank the local community for their patience during construction.
The project supported 100 jobs during construction.
