Location of Leederville railway station

Leederville railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network in Western Australia. It is located on the Joondalup line, 3.2 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of Leederville.

History

Leederville station opened on 20 December 1992 in the median strip of the Mitchell Freeway.[1]

In 2003, the contract for extending the platforms on seven Joondalup line stations, including Leederville station, was awarded to Lakis Constructions. The platforms on these stations had to be extended by 50 metres (160 ft) to accommodate 150-metre (490 ft) long six car trains, which were planned to enter service. Along with the extensions, the platform edges were upgraded to bring them into line with tactile paving standards. Leederville was the first station to begin being extended.[2] Work at this station was completed by April 2004.[3]

In 2012 a double-ended turnback siding was opened between the tracks at the city side of the station, constructed as part of a $19.8m program to improve the resilience of the Transperth network during disruptions.[4]

Services

Leederville station is served by Transperth Joondalup line services.[5]
