Tambelin railway station is located on the Gawler line.[1] Situated in the northern Adelaide suburb of Evanston Gardens, it is 37.4 kilometres (23.2 mi) from the Adelaide station.

History

The present station was built in 1986 on the south side of Clark Road. It has an unsealed carpark and serves Trinity College via a footpath underneath the Gawler Bypass.[2]

Prior to 1986, Tambelin station had short step-down platforms on the northern side of Clark Road.

The sign for Tambelin was erected by the S.A.Railways at a new stopping place near what was then known as the "23-mile crossing" in 1947. The name had not previously been a locality name in the area that had been known as Gawler Blocks. The name Tambelin was chosen by the S.A.R. after consulting the South Australian Nomenclature Committee, as a native name meaning "selecting".[3]
