Peterhead railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line. Situated in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Peterhead, it is 14.6 kilometres from Adelaide station.
History
Peterhead station opened in 1911, when the line was extended from Glanville to Outer Harbor.
Talks in the 1990s commenced to curtail the line at Glanville, and provide alternate transport arrangements beyond Glanville. As a result, a feeder bus was introduced to connect Outer Harbour to the train at Glanville and Ethelton, as well as allowing passengers to travel to Port Adelaide, Semaphore (which used to have its own branch from the main line) and West Lakes. This was later split into two routes, one staying west near Military Road, and the other servicing the eastern side of the Lefevre Peninsula along Fletcher and Victoria Roads. These plans were later scrapped (and bus changes since then mean that these feeder buses no longer operate - or at least not as a localised loop).
