Goodwood railway station is the junction station for the Belair and Seaford/Tonsley lines. The Belair line diverges south-east towards Millswood, while the Seaford and Tonsley lines diverge south-west towards Clarence Park. The Glenelg Tram line crosses over the railway lines at the south end of Goodwood station.
The station services the Adelaide inner-southern suburb of Goodwood, five kilometres from Adelaide station. It opened on 5 March 1883 with the opening of the Adelaide to Aldgate section of the Adelaide-Melbourne line.
In 2013-14 the Station was electrified along with the rest of the Seaford line. Platform 3 which is serviced by Belair trains is only electrified up to the end of the South end of the platform which is where the overhead wires are pulled across to a pole. There is a sign there that states 'EMU do not proceed past this point.' Platform 3 is serviced by 3000/3100 class DEMU railcars.
Goodwood station has three platforms serving the three broad gauge tracks of the three southern metropolitan lines. The fourth and westernmost track, which is part of the standard gauge line to Melbourne, bypasses the no-longer-used fourth platform.
From the north of the stations, there are four tracks between Greenhill Road and the station. The westernmost track is standard gauge, and the other three are broad gauge.
The yard immediately south of the station allows trains on broad gauge lines to transfer from any of the three platforms served by broad gauge to any of the broad gauge lines. The three broad gauge tracks then split into four broad gauge tracks, with two tracks heading south-east along the Belair line alignment, and the other two tracks heading southwest along the Seaford and Tonsley alignment. This also allows a crossing loop on the Belair line.
