Elizabeth Railway Station is a railway station on the Gawler railway line in the northern Adelaide suburbs of Elizabeth and Edinburgh. It is located 25.8 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station. The station opened in 1960 and had the same facilities like that of Cheltenham, Broadmeadows and Womma. These were demolished in 1998 and redeveloped in 1999. Passengers can access the station by way of two low-level crossings. Before the redevelopment, an underground pedestrian subway was provided but has since been filled in.
Elizabeth station has a long roof between 40–50 metres in length to protect patrons from the weather. There is a staffed ticket office, open only during the morning and around lunch time on weekdays, but it has no public toilets. There used to be a rail real time information board and an emergency phone on the platform.The Station has been designated a Safer Station with enhanced lighting, CCTV surveillance and security help phones provided.
Elizabeth is one of the busiest stations in Adelaide. As of 27 April 2008 all trains bound for Gawler, Gawler Central and the City stop at the station, including peak hour express services.

[edit] Redevelopment
The South Australian Government has announced that the station will undergo a $15 million upgrade to start in September 2011. The upgrade is a part of the state government's $2 billion investment into public transport over 10 years. The redevelopment will see the station transformed into an interchange similar to that of Mawson Interchange. The new upgrade of the station should be completed just before the rest of the Gawler line reopens in early April 2012. [1]
