'''Perth railway station''' is the largest station on the Transperth network, serving the central business district of Perth, Western Australia. It serves as an interchange between the Airport, Armadale, Ellenbrook, Fremantle, Midland, and Thornlie–Cockburn lines as well as Transwa's ''Australind'' service. It is also directly connected to Perth Underground railway station, which has the Yanchep and Mandurah lines.
==History==
===Establishment=== left|thumb|The station in 1921 thumb|Looking south-east on Platform 5 The foundation stone for the original Richard Roach Jewell-designed Perth station was laid on 10 May 1880, with the station opening on 1 March 1881 as part of the Eastern Railway from Fremantle to Guildford.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Newland |first1=Andrew |last2=Quinlan |first2=Howard |title=Australian Railway Routes 1854 – 2000 |date=2000 |publisher=Australian Railway Historical Society |location=Redfern |isbn=0-909650-49-7 |page=64}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Higham |first1=Geoffrey |title=Marble Bar to Mandurah: A history of passenger rail services in Western Australia |date=2007 |publisher=Rail Heritage WA |location=Bassendean |isbn=978-0-9803922-0-3 |pages=10, 77}}</ref><ref>[http://www.onlyperth.com.au/44416/history-of-perth History of Perth] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626162657/http://www.onlyperth.com.au/44416/history-of-perth |date=26 June 2015 }} Only Perth</ref> The station had one through platform with a terminating dock platform at the east end; however it soon proved to be inadequate for the growing railway, and after the opening of the Armadale line in 1889 put further stress on the facility it was decided that a larger station would be built.<ref name=museum/>
The new, larger Victorian Free Classical style station building, designed by George Temple-Poole, was opened south of the original station in 1894, with the old building demolished and replaced by a new island platform.<ref name=museum/> The new station building, still in use today, has been expanded numerous times since being built, including the addition of two wings at the east and west ends of the building. A planned third storey and clocktower were never built.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Nock |first1=Ossie |title=Railways of Australia |date=1971 |publisher=Charles & Black |location=London |isbn=0-7136-1190-1 |page=226}}</ref><ref>[http://inherit.stateheritage.wa.gov.au/Public/Inventory/Details/e66aef6f-d353-4e6a-8292-a0c4acddd6b5 Perth Railway Precinct] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626144130/http://inherit.stateheritage.wa.gov.au/Public/Inventory/Details/e66aef6f-d353-4e6a-8292-a0c4acddd6b5 |date=26 June 2015 }} Stage Heritage Office</ref> A collection of freight and administrative offices and tearooms were also part of the railway station complex. The station initially had the Barrack Street and William Street bridges as limiting factors to its further development, though platforms to the west of the station that ran underneath the Horseshoe Bridge were eventually constructed.
The station was the centre of the Western Australian Government Railways system, with most regional trains originating from the station, and it also served as the headquarters of the agency until 1976.<ref>{{Affleck-On Track |page=171}}</ref> Following the cessation of most regional passenger services, the completion of standard gauge tracks to East Perth station, and the relocation of most administrative offices to the Westrail Centre, by the late 1970s Perth station remained only as a terminus for ''The Australind'' service to Bunbury, as well as an interchange for Transperth's suburban services.
The railway building has at times housed various commercial operations as well as police offices. The WA Craft Council was a tenant in the 1980s.<ref>{{cite book |title=Challenges : fine Western Australian crafts : Crafts Council of Western Australia, Crafts Council Centre, Perth City Railway Station |location=Perth, W.A |publisher=Crafts Council of W.A. |year=1987 |author=O'Connor, Porter and Salmon}}</ref> For a considerable length of time the forecourt area was used for car parking, though this is no longer the case.
===Later development=== right|thumb|Wellington Street entrance in 2024 As early as the 1950s, there were moves and suggestions for the redevelopment of the station area.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/158033675 |title=New Heart for Perth Society records, 1953-1974 (manuscript) |author=New Heart for Perth Society |year=1953–1974 |access-date=2016-02-19 |archive-date=26 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326190745/https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/158033675 |url-status=live }}</ref> Starting in 1988 the station underwent a major upgrade as part of the Northern Suburbs Transit System project, which included the construction of a new island platform, a steel and glass roof that covered the central platforms, an adjoining multi-storey car park, and the Citiplace Centre retail and community services hub built on a level above the existing station platforms which also connected pedestrian footbridges linking the Perth Cultural Centre and the Forrest Chase shopping complex to the station.<ref name=museum>{{cite web |title=Perth Railway Station |url=https://www.museumofperth.com.au/perth-railway-station |website=Museum of Perth |access-date=26 October 2022}}</ref>
In 1992, a ninth platform was added along with a pedestrian overpass at the extreme west end of the station which allowed direct access to the railway station from Wellington Street bus station and Northbridge.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Beggs |first1=Pam |title=Lifting of northern pedestrian overpass at Perth Station |url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Lawrence/1992/06/Lifting-of-northern-pedestrian-overpass-at-Perth-Station.aspx |website=Media Statements |access-date=11 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326190734/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Lawrence/1992/06/Lifting-of-northern-pedestrian-overpass-at-Perth-Station.aspx |archive-date=26 March 2022 |date=12 June 1992 |url-status=live}}</ref> With the introduction of the SmartRider contactless electronic ticketing system and installation of fare gates, Perth railway station became a closed station in early 2007;<ref>{{cite web |title=PTA Annual Report 2006-07 |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/portals/0/annualreports/2007/pta_annual_report.pdf |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=25 October 2022}}</ref> as a result the entrance on the Horseshoe Bridge was fenced off and its wooden stairway and overpass was later removed.<ref name=PerthCityLink/>
As part of the New MetroRail project, the station was refurbished and expanded with new underground platforms built at a 90-degree angle to the existing platforms beneath Gordon Stephenson House to the east of William Street, between Wellington and Murray Streets. The underground platforms, numbered 1 and 2, are known as Perth Underground, but are in some aspects considered part of the overall Perth station. The underground platforms are linked to the original Perth station via a walkway under Wellington Street; a new entrance to Perth Underground was also constructed at the west end of the Murray Street pedestrian mall. The new platforms opened on 15 October 2007.<ref>{{cite news |title=Perth CBD's first underground train station in operation |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2007-10-15/perth-cbds-first-underground-train-station-in/698954 |access-date=11 September 2022 |work=ABC News |date=15 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220722034601/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2007-10-15/perth-cbds-first-underground-train-station-in/698954 |archive-date=22 July 2022 |language=en-AU |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=PTA Annual Report 2007/08 |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/0/annualreports/2008/transperth-2.html |website=Public Transport Authority of Western Australia |access-date=11 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326190741/https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/0/annualreports/2008/transperth-2.html |archive-date=26 March 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>
Further changes to the station occurred as part of the Perth City Link project in the early-2010s, which saw the above ground rail lines west of the Horseshoe Bridge sunk and the existing platforms and overpass there demolished to make way for a new public space, Yagan Square. This reduced the above ground platforms from nine to seven. The station also saw the construction of a new pedestrian underpass connecting the three main above ground platforms, and upgrades and extensions to the roof.<ref name=PerthCityLink>{{cite web |title=Changes to Perth Station |url=http://www.pta.wa.gov.au/RailProject/AbouttheRailProject/ChangestoPerthStation/tabid/341/language/en-AU/Default.aspx |website=Perth City Link |publisher=Public Transport Authority |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924083047/http://www.pta.wa.gov.au/RailProject/AbouttheRailProject/ChangestoPerthStation/tabid/341/language/en-AU/Default.aspx |archive-date=24 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Fact Sheet: Pedestrian underpass |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/2/docs/PCL/1203%20FACT%20SHEET%20-%20Pedestrian%20underpass.pdf |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=11 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220503123856/http://www.pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/2/docs/PCL/1203%20FACT%20SHEET%20-%20Pedestrian%20underpass.pdf |archive-date=3 May 2022 |date=March 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=PTA Annual Report 2013-14 |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/portals/0/annualreports/2014/docs/annual-report-sections-1-2.pdf |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=11 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220503125041/http://www.pta.wa.gov.au/portals/0/annualreports/2014/docs/annual-report-sections-1-2.pdf |archive-date=3 May 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>
