Glanville railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line. Situated in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Glanville, it is 13.8 kilometres from Adelaide station.
Up until February 2013, a number of peak hour services from Adelaide terminated at Glanville using the bay platform, however these were withdrawn in favour of terminating services at Osborne. However, the bay platform may be used for substitute trains whenever a cruise liner is docked at Outer Harbor, and the main train is packed with terminating passengers bound for Adelaide. This often results in express service for the main train from Glanville, while the substitute train stops at all stations.
History
The station opened in 1878 with the extension of the Adelaide to Port Adelaide railway to Semaphore. This remained the main line, until the extension of the current line from Glanville towards Outer Harbor. The Semaphore branch line ran mainly in the middle of Dunnikier Road (later renamed Semaphore Road) and remained open until 1978.
