Port Dock railway station – named Port Adelaide until 1916 – is the terminus of the Port Dock line, located on Baker Street, Port Adelaide. The first station was located in the commercial centre at the corner of St Vincent Street and Lipson Street and served as the original terminus of the railway between Adelaide and Port Adelaide, which opened in 1856.
After closure in 1981, the passenger station site was redeveloped as the Port Adelaide Police Station and Magistrates' Court. The former goods yard, adjacent to Lipson Street, is now occupied by the National Railway Museum. Several proposals had been advanced to build a new station, including a budgeted project by the government of South Australia in 2017,[1][2] but were put on hold by the incoming Marshall government in 2019.[3][4] Having made construction of the new line an election commitment in 2022,[5] the incoming government announced funding for the railway line and a new station in December 2022.[6] The Port Dock station is anticipated to reopen on 25 August 2024.[7]
