Leederville Railway Station
History
Leederville station opened on 20 December 1992 in the median strip of the Mitchell Freeway.
In 2003, the contract for extending the platforms on seven Joondalup line stations, including Leederville station, was awarded to Lakis Constructions. The platforms on these stations had to be extended by 50 metres (160 ft) to accommodate 150-metre-long (490 ft) six-car trains, which were planned to enter service. Along with the extensions, the platform edges were upgraded to bring them into line with tactile paving standards. Leederville was the first station to begin being extended. Work at this station was completed by April 2004.
In 2012 a double-ended turnback siding was opened between the tracks at the city side of the station, constructed as part of a $19.8 million program to improve the resilience of the Transperth network during disruptions.
Future
In 2024, City of Vincent Mayor Alison Xamon and Town of Cambridge Mayor Gary Mack called on the state government to upgrade Leederville station, saying it is "holding up the revitalisation of the surrounding precinct". Xamon said that disability access is poor and that the footbridge does not have any shelter.
