Islington railway station is located on the Gawler line. Situated in the inner northern Adelaide suburb of Prospect adjacent to Regency Road, it is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Adelaide station.
History
It is unclear when the station opened.
North of the station lie the Islington Railway Workshops. To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook. Opposite the station lay a TNT yard that was also used by Holden. The yard had closed by the late 1990s, and remained unused until 2008 when it was completely demolished to make way for a new residential development. In 2014, decontamination of the site commenced.
The station was refurbished in early 2022 during electrification works on the Gawler line. The refurbishment of the station included platform resurfacing, new shelters, seating, wayfinding, and lighting.
