[edit] The Christie Downs extension

The original Christie Downs station was opened in January 1976. It was approximately 29.7 km from Adelaide and consisted of a platform adjacent to what is now the Up track. The platform has since been demolished, but the footpath leading to it can still be seen.

At the same time a new timetable was introduced which had trains stopping at all stations to Brighton, backed up by semi-fast trains that continued to Christie Downs.

[edit] Noarlunga Centre

In April 1978 Noarlunga Centre and the current Christie Downs stations were opened, and the original Christie Downs station was subsequently demolished.
