History

The old layout (pre-2010)

• 1953: Opened as a wayside halt.^[2]
• 1966: The line between Morningside and Avondale was double-tracked, leading to two new platforms being built. These platforms were off-set from each other.^[2]
• 1993: The platforms were raised to meet the standards of the new ex-Perth trains.^[2]
• 2011: An upgraded and lengthened station was opened, with the platforms directly opposite each other.
