Largs railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line. Situated in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Largs Bay, it is 15.5 kilometres from Adelaide station.

History

The Largs station was opened in 1907. A short line to Largs Jetty branched off just south of the station, but this closed in 1908. Originally, Largs station had a centre track in that space that was connected between both tracks and used as holding siding for trains, hence why the gap between the platforms is unusually wider than most stations.

In 2014, some minor works were undertaken on the station to provide help with patrons from a nearby retirement village on Jetty Road. This included two new ramps on the Jetty Road side of the station, and parts of the platform was raised for wheelchairs.
