Hove railway station is located on the Seaford line.[1] Situated in the south-western Adelaide suburb of Hove, it is 14.6 kilometres from Adelaide station.

History

Hove was opened on 12 January 1914, and originally as North Brighton Station.[2] In April 1914, not long after opening, the station was renamed Middle Brighton Station.[3] Later in 1914, an electric light was installed to replace the previous oil lamp. As it was an unmanned station at the time, the light was switched on by a guard on the passing train at sundown, and off by the guard on the last train for the night.[4] A ticket office was added to the platform in mid-1915.[5] In 1920, the Railways Commissioner suggested the station should be renamed to Tingara Station, however the Brighton Council preferred Hove.[6] The station was officially renamed Hove in June 1920.[7]

Until the 1990s, Hove station had a ticket office, toilets and an underground pedestrian tunnel, but heavy graffiti and vandalism led to these facilities being closed and demolished.Шаблон:Cn Like many stations on the Adelaide Metro network, the tunnel was replaced with a level pedestrian crossing.

Funding for a grade separation of Brighton Road and the Seaford line was announced in the 2019/2020 state budget, with a combined commitment of $171 million in funding from the Federal and State governments.[8] Design options were released in January 2021,[9] however the project was later cancelled in June 2021 with the 2021/2022 state budget citing cost overruns and local opposition to the project.[10][11]
