Adelaide Showground railway station is located on the Belair, Flinders and Seaford lines, and is located in the inner western Adelaide suburb of Keswick. It is four kilometres from Adelaide station, and replaced Keswick station and the temporary Showground Central station.
The station opened on 17 February 2014.[1][2] Unlike the former Showground Central station, which was only used during the Royal Adelaide Show, Adelaide Showground station is serviced every day as a regular part of the Belair, Flinders and Seaford lines.[3][4][5] The interstate Adelaide Parklands Terminal is located nearby.
In late 2016, the station was ranked as the best station in the western suburbs based on five criteria.[6] The reasons cited included: "Excellent condition in regard to all items, reflecting the recent construction and good upkeep since. No toilets. There are relatively few seats."
