History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The name "Chidda" is derived from Kaurna the local indigenous language, for the word "little bird"[3][4] and the stopping place has also been known as the "Spains Road siding". It is unclear when this station opened, with a mention made in 1936 of "a landing place for passengers who join and alight from the Gawler rail car."[5]
Chidda initially had step down platforms, where a length of 122 metres was provided. In the second half of 1974, they were replaced by the current island platform of the same length. To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.
Platforms and Services
Chidda has one island platform, that is serviced by Adelaide Metro trains. Trains are scheduled every 30 minutes, seven days a week.[6]
