Murdoch railway station is a railway and bus station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Mandurah line, 13.8 kilometres (8.6 mi) from Perth station inside the median strip of the Kwinana Freeway serving the suburb of Murdoch.

History

Murdoch railway station was designed to subsume the existing Murdoch Park 'n' Ride bus station located on the same site. The Park 'n' Ride was closed on 31 January 2007 to facilitate construction of the railway station.

The contract for the construction of Murdoch railway station, along with Bull Creek railway station and Canning Bridge railway station, was awarded to John Holland Pty Ltd in November 2004. This contract was the first contract awarded for the construction of stations on the Southern Suburbs Railway project, and it had a value of $32 million.

During planning, the station was projected to have 4,980 boardings per day upon opening.

Murdoch Station opened along with the rest of the Mandurah line on 23 December 2007. In 2017, Murdoch was named the busiest station utilised on the line as well as the third busiest on the Transperth network overall with extremely high patronage.

Services
