Leighton Station was a railway station on the Transperth network in Perth, Western Australia. It was located on the Fremantle line around from Perth, serving the Fremantle suburb of North Fremantle.
Leighton Station opened on and was named after Leighton's Crossingwhich was named for Ann Leighton,[1] its gatekeeper from 1881 to 1885.[2] Along with the rest of the Fremantle line, Leighton closed on 1 September 1979 due to low passenger counts.[3] It reopened in 1983 with the rest of the line following a change of government.[4]
During the 1980s when the Fremantle, Midland and Armadale lines were being electrified, the old North Fremantle station above Tydeman Road (where the current freight horseshoe curve is) was replaced by a new North Fremantle station constructed north of the current one located north of Tydeman Road. This new station opened on, causing the demise of Leighton.[5]
Leighton station was served by Fremantle line services operated by Westrail on behalf of the Metropolitan Transport Trust from Fremantle to Perth.
Leighton had two platforms on an island.[6] Services towards Perth departed from platform 1.
