History
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2023) |
The station opened in 1969 as Green Field, later changing to Greenfields.[when?]
It is one of only two stations on the Gawler Central line to have a pedestrian underpass (the other is Parafield Gardens). The other stations have had theirs closed due to concerns with safety and vandalism.[citation needed] To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.
In 2021, it has received several upgrades including a deep cleaning, fresh coat of paint, LED lighting and new bins. This is a part of the State governments station refresh program.
Platforms and Services
[edit]Greenfields has two island platforms and is serviced by Adelaide Metro Gawler line services. Trains are scheduled every 30 minutes, seven days a week.[2]
