The original Cannington station was located between Station Street and Crawford Road in East Cannington, and was one of the original stations operational when the Armadale Line opened in 1889.[1] As part of the electrification of the line in the early 1990s, the original Cannington station was replaced by a new station 500 metres (1,600 ft) to the north-west.[2][3]
As part of a Metronet project for several level crossing removals on the Armadale line, Cannington Station will be rebuilt as a new elevated station with island platforms, and a larger, 16 stand bus interchange underneath the station platforms. The new platforms will be the length of a six car train, as opposed to the current platforms which are the length of a four car train. The station platforms will be accessed by lift and stairs, with provisions for escalators and fare gates to be added in the future.[4] The project will also replace the siding south-east of the station with a central double-ended turnback siding to allow the safe reversal of future six-car trains.[5]
Cannington station is served by Transperth Train Operations Armadale/Thornlie Line services.[6]
The station saw 865,018 passengers in the 2013-14 financial year.[7]
