[edit] History
The station was originally constructed as a bus transfer station, enabling passengers to transfer between bus routes using Kwinana Freeway and those serving Canning Highway. During construction of the Mandurah Railway, the freeway-level bus platforms were removed and converted to rail platforms. The Canning Highway --> Kwinana Freeway bus bridge was shifted to accommodate the rail platforms.
[edit] Moving of the Canning Highway bus bridge
To make room for the rail corridor, the 120 metre long, 1800 tonne Canning Highway bus bridge was moved 9.5 metres southwest by using Teflon mats and pulling the bridge sideways. This was a more economical alternative to constructing a completely new bridge. The move did not disrupt ongoing traffic on the Kwinana Freeway.
