Kirkcaldy railway station is a former railway station in the western Adelaide suburb of Henley Beach.[1]

History

[edit]

The station opened in 1894 on the former Henley Beach railway line and was located on Military Road, immediately south of Grange Road. Facilities consisted of a single platform and a shelter shed.

It was closed on 31 August 1957 due to safety concerns about military road and the railway line being close together. The station has since been demolished.
