History
Elizabeth station opened in 1960, being rebuilt in 1999 with one island platform that was accessible by an underground pedestrian subway. It included a 40–50 metre roof.
Redevelopment 2012
In March 2012, the station was rebuilt in a $15 million project. The work involved demolition of the island platform, construction of two side platforms, the track re-aligned, and other changes made in preparation for the aborted electrification of the Gawler Central line.
As some peak-hour services were to terminate at Elizabeth, the rebuild included the addition of a siding just north of the station to allow trains to stable clear of the main line. The western platform is accessed both by a level crossing and an overpass.
