Hallett Cove railway station is located on the Seaford line.[1] Situated in the southern Adelaide suburb of Hallett Cove, it is 21.4 kilometres from Adelaide station.

History

The station opened in 1915 as Hallett's Cove on the now closed Willunga line, being renamed Hallett Cove in 1965. It was closed to freight in 1962. In the early years of the line, it had a stone-loading plant, traces of which may still be seen.[2]

The station closed on 18 January 2010 for an eight-month rebuild which included building a canopy over the station.[3][4]
