Womma railway station is located on the Gawler line.[1] Situated in the northern Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth North, it is 27.3 kilometres (17.0 mi) from Adelaide station.

History

[edit]

Womma opened in 1950.

It 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.

Platforms and Services

[edit]

Womma has an island platform and is serviced by Adelaide Metro. Trains are scheduled every 30 minutes, seven days a week.[2]
