Is this really a line? A service maybe. This wikipedia entry should relate to the former Showgrounds branch of the Adelaide suburban rail system, with a note that a contemporary service to Showgrounds still exists, but without the branch. |

Was (or is) this a "railway line"? The only track dedicated to the service would have been a crossover to allow the train to cross onto the city-bound track to return to Adelaide station, and perhaps an extra signal or two. Or did this "line" have exclusive access to what was normally the Belair railway line, with Belair trains running on the Noarlunga Centre/Seaford pair of tracks as far as Goodwood Junction? If so, the article does not state that. -- Scott Davis Talk 06:16, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Following recent and historical discussion cited on this talk page, I am proposing that this article be merged into Showground Central railway station.
Firstly, from a local's perspective, this was not a "railway line" in and of itself, rather a distinct station that was serviced by an express shuttle train running along the existing Belair/Noarlunga alignment. In addition, official sources never referred to this as a "railway line" either, only ever mentioning the station and the express shuttle. [1] [2] [3] [4] Meanwhile, on Google Australia, "Showground Central station" has 193,000 hits, while "Showground Central line" has 57,100 hits. Though it is notable to mention that "Showground Central railway station" has 77,700 hits compared to "Showground Central railway line" with 155,000 hits.
I also agree with past comments that there is little-to-no need to have two articles that more-or-less cover the same topic. Regards. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 02:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
Support merging of railway line article into railway station article. Isn't a stand alone railway, merely a siding running parallel to an existing line so not significant enough for a separate article. Bullgold14 ( talk) 05:16, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
