The Belair line is a suburban rail commuter route in greater Adelaide, South Australia, that runs from the Adelaide railway station to Belair in the Adelaide Hills via the Adelaide-Wolseley line using diesel 3000/3100 class railcars. This part of the Adelaide–Wolseley line comprised two broad-gauge tracks until the Adelaide–Wolseley line was converted to standard gauge in 1995. Now two separate single-track lines run in parallel from Adelaide to Belair: the Belair commuter line – still 1600 mm (5 ft 3 in) broad gauge – and the line to Wolseley thence interstate – 1435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge – line. The latter carries freight except for four long-distance passenger trains per week.
