However, I challenge anybody to stare one in the face and to not be a little in awe. What a fascinating contraption. What an understandable one--coal, fire, heat, steam, movement... They don't build them like that anymore. I spent a lot of time down at Victor Harbor as a kid but had never been on the Cockle Train. My opportunity came recently when my father, a volunteer of the Australian Railway Historical Society (aka SteamRanger), invited me along for a ride. This is a seriously splendid way of viewing the coastline. The journey meanders from beautiful little village of Goolwa (checkout the weekend markets) to Victor Harbor via Middleton and Port Elliot. Feeling touristy? The Cockle Train is a must.

Great day out for the kids! Got in at Goolwa and enjoyed…read morethe scenery along the coastline to Victor Harbour. Not too many places in the world you can ride a historic steam train.

I am so glad that this railway station is still here, but it looks like it has been purchased and…read moretransformed into something else. I guess that is a bit of a shame because it means that it is unlikely to be turned back into a railway station, but then again this is Adelaide and they really don't seem to like trains here. However, it is still pretty cool that this really old station is still standing, just don't expect to catch any trains from here.

It's a train station there really isn't much to review. I'm not sure if they ran out of money after…read morebuilding the new beaut Showground station, but the station is just bleh. As it's the end of the line, the trains pull in at both platforms and there is no signage on the bridge to tell you which platform you need to be on. The amount of times I've missed a train as I've walked down 1 set of stairs then backtracked under the bridge to read the info screens, only to find out I need to be on the other platform is annoying. Hopefully they fix this soon. Oh and be prepared for the trains to always be late and if you are travelling at peak times they will be full by the 3rd stop.

Seaford Railway Station is a modern railway station that lacks some important key design features…read more Even though it marks the end of what was once the Noarlunga line prior to the extension, there are still two tracks leading into this terminus. This unfortunately leads to confusion as the trains pull in to either platform. Unfortunately, there is no clear organization as to where the train will pull in and most of the time you have to rely on the scarce information monitors or on a mobile app. The station is clean and the new electric trains are quiet impressive. At night, the station is well lit and there is ample seating room on either platform. There are basic facilities at the station but nothing spectacular. The artwork and structural design, whilst modern, still lacks some of the beauty that other railway stations such as the Oaklands Interchange has. It is however much more polished and smoother than the old Noarlunga terminus, however the Cafe and ticketing facilities at the Noarlunga Centre station are better. Seaford has a good railway station however it still lacks a clear and logic layout. Maybe when the line is extended (if it is extended), then the relative location of each train at the platform would make more sense, but at the moment, I am yet to identify the pattern.

However, I have seen this place change countless times, particularly since they knocked down the old station building top put through a goods line. However, it is also a major interchange, which used to be a park, eons ago. However, while the station is supposed to be staffed, I haven't seen any staff there in ages either.

Well, this station really isn't all that much better than many of the other stations in Adelaide,…read morethough the shelter does happen to be larger than the others that I have seen. However, to be honestly, it really isn't all that great, though I should mention that not only is it accessible, but they have a subway which means that you don't have to cross the tracks. Mind you, these subways are prone to flooding, which is probably why a lot of them were removed, but at least its there.
