History
[edit]![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2017) |
Marino was opened in 1913 as the terminus of the Seaford line, until it was extended further south.
The 1974-built station building was built during the duplication of the line between Oaklands and Hallett Cove Beach in 1975. The station did have a ticket office but it had closed by the 1990s, then replaced with a “bus” type shelter in 2011. The station is still operating to this day running short lines with small electric powered locomotives.
