Beckenham railway station is a temporarily closed railway station on the Transperth commuter rail network in Western Australia. It is located on the Armadale line, from Perth Station serving the suburb of Beckenham. It closed on 20 November 2023 so the station could be rebuilt as part of the Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal Project.
The station opened in 1954 as Higham. The additional station, with two others on the Armadale line, marked the introduction of diesel-mechanical railcars on Perth's metropolitan passenger railways. Higham was renamed Beckenham in 1969. The platforms are staggered across William Street to minimise the time the level crossing is closed to road traffic.[1] [2]
In March 2014 an $8.1 million upgrade to the station and adjacent car parks was completed.[3]
On 20 November 2023 the station closed for 18 months to allow it to be rebuilt as part of the Victoria Park - Canning Level Crossing Removal.
Beckenham Station will be rebuilt as part of the removal of the William Street level crossing. This is currently being constructed as part of a Metronet project for the removal of level crossings on the Armadale line. A new Beckenham station will be built on the north side of William Street to reduce the station’s footprint, with new public space under the elevated rail line. The station was not originally in the project scope but was added following a funding commitment from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after he won the 2022 federal election.[4] [5]
Beckenham Station is served by Transperth Armadale line services. Services to and from the Thornlie spur line run non-stop through the station.
The station saw 191,969 passengers in the 2013-14 financial year.[6]
