Cannington Train Station is a Transperth train station 12.2km from Perth Train Station, in Western Australia, on the Armadale / Thornlie Line. The original Station used to be located between Station Street and Crawford Rd in East Cannington, it was one of the original stations operational when the Armadale Line opened in 1889. [1] The original Cannington Train Station was demolished during the upgrade of the rail line from Diesel to Electric as there needed to be further distances between stations, and the original station was only 500 m from Beckenham Train Station. The new Cannington Train Station near Cecil Avenue is within walking distance of Westfield Carousel shopping centre.
