Untitled[edit]

I am interested in this article because as a child I lived across the road (i.e. Military Road) from the Kirkcaldy Railway Station. The link for the Kirkcaldy Railway Station takes the reader to an article about a Kirkcaldy Railway Station in Scotland, not South Australia! Cowdy001 (talk) 07:29, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now goes nowhere as there isn't an article as yet! (Crusoe8181 (talk) 07:38, 10 June 2011 (UTC)).[reply]

Jetty Road[edit]

This shows a station there in 1894. This (following a string of articles in 1910) suggests that they got rid of the original terminus and that Henley Beach Jetty Road became the new terminus. (Not an SA person, so no local knowledge beyond that.) The Drover's Wife (talk) 15:58, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Any thoughts, @Jabberjawjapan:? The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:32, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - and thanks for the reminder... Yes this is indeed a very interesting puzzle...

Anyway, the first reference states: The old Grange Station platform has been removed to the Grange Jetty-road: there is another platform at the Kircaldy Heath-road, another at the Henley Beach Jetty-road, and another as the terminus near the Adelaide-road. That makes 4 stations (excluding Marlborough?). And as far as I can tell, it seems to be giving street intersection coordinates to rather than the familiar station names themselves. The zoomable Map of Adelaide 1913 is inconclusive... but the later 1940 map also show 4 (with the regular station names and not "Henley Beach Jetty Road" as a 5th).
The second reference states: "Adelaide and Henley Beach-Trains will cease running beyond the Henley Beach Jetty-road." Again, not a concrete station name(?)

Anyway, I have just now examined the 2 refs on the main page, and they seem to support your theorem... the only problem now is verifying a timeline.JabberJaw_JAPAN talk 12:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
