Millswood railway station
Millswood railway station is located on the Belair line in Adelaide.〔(Belair timetable ) Adelaide Metro 12 October 2014〕 Situated in the Adelaide suburb of Millswood, it is 5.9 kilometres from Adelaide station.
==History==
The station opened circa 1910. The platforms were constructed of earth-filled concrete each side of the dual tracks, which were both broad gauge until 1995. There were timber framed, iron clad open passenger shelters on each platform. The two outbound Unley Park and Hawthorn stations had similar shelters. A ticket office was provided on the Up (western) platform until being demolished during in 1985, and the original shelters were in due course removed in March 1988 and replaced with the bus stop type shelters that are seen at some stations on the TransAdelaide network.
Millswood station closed on 28 April 1995, simultaneously with stations at Clapham and Hawthorn despite criticism from nearby residents, with the conversion of the Adelaide-Wolseley line to standard gauge under the One Nation programme.〔"Adelaide's Millswood Station reopens after almost 20 years" ''Railway Digest'' December 2014 page 18〕 A number of reasons were quoted as justification for the closures, including poor patronage,〔Former Minister of Transport Frank Blevins stated there had been consideration since 1966 to close the station because of poor patronage. In December 1994, Millswood had on average 123 passenger boardings per day. Source:Question Time, Legislative Council, 12 April 1995, p. 1933〕 the excessive number of stations between Goodwood and Lynton and their closeness to each other, and the impractibility of single-line working with so many stations and so few crossing points. The western platform was demolished in 2007.
