Location Location of Midland railway station

Midland railway station is the terminus of the Midland line in Perth. Western Australia. It is operated by Transperth and is connected with the feeder bus services that utilise the adjacent bus terminal in Midland.

History

Midland station was opened on 8 October 1968 by Minister for Transport & Railways Ray O'Connor as a replacement for Midland Junction station when the main Eastern Railway was being converted to dual gauge.

It originally had four narrow gauge platform faces, platform 1 at the southern side allowed through-running for regional services, while platforms 2-4 were terminating tracks. In the 1990s, the track was removed from platform 4 at the northern side. Initially, a separate platform was provided for the standard gauge line approximately 150 metres away to the west. From 18 February 2001, the through-running platform 1 was converted to dual gauge to allow The Prospector (and other future standard gauge trains) to call at the main station.

Redevelopment

In the 2010s the former Midland Redevelopment Authority (MRA) had advocated the relocation of the station east to be in line with Cale Street, the site of the original Midland Junction station. The MRA also desired an extension of the Midland line to Bellevue, which would take on a primarily park and ride function, to allow for land around Midland station to be redeveloped. There have been previous attempts to extend the line to Bellevue.

As part of Metronet, Midland Station will be demolished and replaced with a new station located between Helena and Cale streets. The relocation of the station was required to accommodate the extension to Bellevue, where a new railcar manufacturing facility is located. A multi-storey car park with over 600 bays and a 12 stand bus interchange will be built at the location of the current station. As part of the project, the level crossing at Helena Street will close and will be replaced with a new crossing at Cale Street.

Construction began on 23 July 2023. The last service to use the original platform 1 was on 24 October 2024, all standard gauge regional trains are now using a temporary platform located nearby, until the new station is operational.
