Armadale railway station is located on the South Western Railway, 30 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of Armadale, Brookdale and Haynes. It is the terminating point for Transperth Armadale line services and a calling point for Transwa Australind services.

History

The original station opened on 2 May 1893 when the South Western Railway opened from Claisebrook to Pinjarra. As part of the electrification of the line in the early 1990s, a new station was built with the former signal box relocated to the Armadale Tourist Centre. On 6 November 2004, another new station opened.

On 15 July 1907, Armadale became a junction station when the Spearwood–Armadale line opened. This line closed on 23 January 1964.

As part of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension project, the existing station was demolished starting with the platforms on 11 December 2023 and then the terminal building on 13 December, leading to the station being fully demolished by 15 December. The station will be replaced by a more modern design. It'll be rebuilt during the 18 month shutdown for the Byford Extension starting from 20 November by MetCONNX, where it will be raised, still having the two urban platforms and 1 regional platform. Lifts will be used at the station, and escalators may be added in the future.

Future design

As a part of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension project, the Armadale Road, Forrest Avenue and Church Avenue railway crossings are planned to be removed, and the Eleventh Road and Thomas Road crossings to be elevated over the existing railway lines. The pedestrian crossings at Frys Lane and Seventh Road are planned to be rebuilt, going under the elevated rail.

The elevated rail will start approximately 450 metres north of Armadale Road, and will continue until returning to ground level, around 420 metres south of Church Avenue.
