Heathfield railway station was located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line serving the Adelaide Hills suburb of Heathfield.[1] It was located 33.2 km from Adelaide station, and at an elevation of 420 metres (1,380 ft)[2]

History

[edit]

It is unclear when the station was opened. It consisted of one 85-metre-long platform and a waiting shelter. The station was located opposite Bogaduck Road next to the present-day pedestrian crossing.[3]

The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. It has since been demolished.
