Torrens Park railway station is located on the Belair line in suburban Adelaide in South Australia.[1] Located 9.3 kilometres from Adelaide station, it serves the inner southern suburb of Torrens Park.
The station opened in 1914 as Blythwood, being renamed Torrens Park in 1921.[2][3] In 1992, the Australian Plants Society commenced the Torrens Park Railway Station Project which made the surrounding area look much more attractive.[4]
In 1995, the western side platform was closed when the inbound line was converted to standard gauge as part of the One Nation Adelaide-Melbourne line gauge conversion project. The disused platform was demolished in March 2008.[5]
