Chidda railway station is located on the Gawler line. [1] Situated in the northern Adelaide suburb of Salisbury, it is 18.6 kilometres (11.6 mi) from Adelaide station. [2]
This section needs expansion. You can help by
adding to it. (September 2017) |
The name "Chidda" is derived from Kaurna the local indigenous language, for the word "little bird" [3] [4] and the stopping place has also been known as the "Spains Road siding". It is unclear when this station opened, with a mention made in 1936 of "a landing place for passengers who join and alight from the Gawler rail car." [5]
Chidda initially had step down platforms, where a length of 122 metres were provided. In the second half of 1974, they were replaced by the current island platform of the same length. To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.
Chidda has one island platform, and is serviced by Adelaide Metro trains. Trains are scheduled every 30 minutes, seven days a week. [6]
Platform | Destination |
---|---|
1 | Gawler and Gawler Central |
2 | Adelaide |
Chidda is the closest station directly opposite Salisbury Memorial Park, a non-denominational cemetery. [7]
