Safer Crossings as Clarence Park Station Upgrade Reaches Completion

Thursday, 26 June 2025

The Seaford, Flinders and Belair train lines will temporarily close this weekend, to allow for the completion of safety upgrades to the Clarence Park Railway Station.

There will be a full closure of the Belair line from 8:45pm Friday, 27 June until 7:00am Saturday, 28 June 2025.

The Flinders line will also be fully closed and the Seaford line partially closed between Adelaide Railway Station and Brighton Railway Station all day Saturday, 28 June and Sunday 29 June 2025.

Substitute buses will replace train services at all stations between Adelaide Railway Station and Belair, Brighton, and Flinders Railway Stations during the closures.

During the temporary closures, commissioning work will be completed on the installation and activation of the Active Pedestrian Crossing at the southern end of Clarence Park Station. An Activated Pedestrian Crossing features gates that close as a train approaches, with alarms and signals as a way to alert pedestrians when it’s unsafe to cross. Once the train passes, the alarm will stop and the gates re-open.

The Clarence Park Station upgrade also includes resurfacing of the station platform and removing and replacing tactile markers on the platform.

Beautification works, with the creation of a new mural, will begin in July.

Testing of the rail lines will be carried out during the temporary closure. This will mean some trains will be active on the Seaford line, however they will not be servicing stations or collecting passengers.

Level crossing isolation works will also be taking place on the Belair line during the line closures, overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning. Freight trains will continue to use the Belair line activating level crossing as normal all weekend. Pedestrians are reminded to always look both ways for trains when crossing the track.

Over the weekend, passengers are being encouraged to plan their journey in advance and allow extra time.
