Seaford Railway Station is a modern railway station that lacks some important key design features. Even though it marks the end of what was once the Noarlunga line prior to the extension, there are still two tracks leading into this terminus. This unfortunately leads to confusion as the trains pull in to either platform. Unfortunately, there is no clear organization as to where the train will pull in and most of the time you have to rely on the scarce information monitors or on a mobile app. The station is clean and the new electric trains are quiet impressive. At night, the station is well lit and there is ample seating room on either platform. There are basic facilities at the station but nothing spectacular. The artwork and structural design, whilst modern, still lacks some of the beauty that other railway stations such as the Oaklands Interchange has. It is however much more polished and smoother than the old Noarlunga terminus, however the Café and ticketing facilities at the Noarlunga Centre station are better. Seaford has a good railway station however it still lacks a clear and logic layout. Maybe when the line is extended(if it is extended), then the relative location of each train at the platform would make more sense, but at the moment, I am yet to identify the pattern.

It’s a train station there really isn’t much to review. I’m not sure if they ran out of money after building the new beaut Showground station, but the station is just bleh. As it’s the end of the line, the trains pull in at both platforms and there is no signage on the bridge to tell you which platform you need to be on. The amount of times I’ve missed a train as I’ve walked down 1 set of stairs then backtracked under the bridge to read the info screens, only to find out I need to be on the other platform is annoying. Hopefully they fix this soon. Oh and be prepared for the trains to always be late and if you are travelling at peak times they will be full by the 3rd stop.
