List of closed Perth railway stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are several stations that have been closed and since demolished since the building of the Railway in metropolitan Perth Western Australia in the Nineteenth Century.

• In some cases there are stations that were so effectively removed that there are no traces left - such as Bellevue. However in Mundaring and Darlington, concrete platform edges remain.

It must be noted that although Mundaring Branch Railway stations were closed in 1954, it was not until the 1960's that the line was closed in Parliament, and the line and stations removed after that.

The lines to Karragullen along the Upper Darling Range Railway, and to Chidlow (via Parkerville or Mundaring) were considered to be part of the metropolitan service, by the WAGR administration at the time they were operating.
