Perth Stadium railway station

Perth Stadium railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Armadale line, 3.2 kilometres from Perth railway station serving the new Perth Stadium. It was completed in December 2017 and opened on 21 January 2018. The station cost A$145 million to build and is the second biggest station on the Perth network.

History
On 18 October 2013, Belmont Park railway station was closed to make way for the Perth Stadium railway station.

In October 2014, three parties were shortlisted to bid for the construction of the station:
 * Brookfield Multiplex/Downer Rail
 * John Holland
 * Laing O'Rourke/AECOM

The contract was awarded to Laing O'Rourke/AECOM in March 2015, with a targeted completion date of late 2017.

In January 2015, a 1.4 kilometre section of the line between Goongoongup Bridge and Burswood station was moved closer to the Graham Farmer Freeway to facilitate construction of the station. Construction of the station commenced in August 2015, and was completed in December 2017, before the stadium's opening in January 2018.

Platforms and services
Train services to the station vary with specific events at the stadium. 28,000 people are expected to use the station in the hour after a 60,000 person event at the stadium. Thus to facilitate the flow of the large crowds expected during events there are no escalators going between platforms or the entrance, but there are 11 lifts for those with disabilities or prams. All trains on the Armadale line stop at the station on weekends.

The platform layout for Stadium station has six platform faces from three island platforms. Trains headed towards Perth do not stop at Claisebrook or McIver stations. Connecting from the Thornlie line requires a bus to Cannington station and then a train to Stadium station.

There are two concourses from the station towards the stadium: the western concourse, located at the northern side, for the Joondalup and Fremantle lines; and the eastern concourse, located towards the south east, for the Armadale line and buses to Perth Station.
