Grant Street railway station

History

Grant Street station opened in 1954. The station closed on 1 September 1979 along with the rest of the Fremantle line, re-opening on 29 July 1983 when services were restored.

Following the introduction of four-carriage trains on 18 August 2002, services could not stop at Grant Street due to the platform lengths with alternative road transport provided. In May 2009, work was completed at the station to extend the platforms, and four-carriage trains now stop at the station.

From 2034, Grant Street station's platforms are planned to be extended to the south to accommodate six-car trains.

Services

Grant Street station is served by Transperth Fremantle line services from Fremantle to Perth that continue through to Midland via the Midland line.

Grant Street station saw 85,036 passengers in the 2013–14 financial year.

Platforms

Grant Street has two platforms: platform 1 has Perth-bound trains; platform 2 has Fremantle-bound trains.
