[edit] Noarlunga Extension
Before the extension of the line to Noarlunga Centre line in 1978, a line ran from Hallett Cove station on a different route through Reynella, Morphett Vale and Hackham to Willunga, South Australia (southeast of Noarlunga). The Willunga line was closed in 1969, and in September 1972 a track-removal train removed the tracks. For 6 years Noarlunga had no train service.
[edit] Seaford Extension
In late 2005, the State Government announced that as part of a greater infrastructure development, the Noarlunga line would be extended 5.5km to the outer metropolitan suburb of Seaford, South Australia. Expected to cost AU$100 million, it will include bridges over the Onkaparinga River and two new stations at Seaford Meadows and Seaford itself.[2] Planning and research is currently underway, of the feasibility of this railway, and further steps will be taken in March 2007. Work is tentatively planned to begin in 2010. The government would also like to extend this railway line even further, going down as far as Aldinga, but complications of land ownership where it would be likely to go have made this quite difficult.[verification needed]
