Marion railway station is located on the Seaford line.〔(Seaford & Tonsley timetable ) Adelaide Metro 20 July 2014〕 Situated in the south-western Adelaide suburb of Marion, it is 11.4 kilometres from Adelaide station. ==History== Until the early 1950s the Ascot Park and Oaklands stations serviced Marion with a single rail track. In 1953 the line was duplicated as far as Oaklands, and as part of that work a new station was constructed at Marion. Marion received a station building similar to that still remaining at Woodlands Park station. In the 1960s concerns were raised regarding the safety of pedestrians crossing at the southern end of the station, where no pedestrian barriers had been installed. This lack was seen as contributing to a fatality in 1967.〔(Tragic death in 1967 ) Martion Safety Blogspot〕 In response, a pedestrian footbridge was constructed in 1970, and the then existing pedestrian maze barrier-equipped crossing at the northern end was removed. This ensured that the footbridge provided the sole personal access to both the platform and to the other side of the line. At the northern end, a more convenient low-level track crossing and station access was re-installed in the 1990s. As part of the electrification of the line, Marion station was rebuilt in 2013, with a new waiting shelter installed, an underpass built and the bridge demolished.〔(Marion Street Underpass ) Department of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marion railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
