History

The original West Perth station opened in 1883 as North Perth. It was renamed West Perth in 1890. The station closed on 1 September 1979 along with the rest of the Fremantle line, re-opening on 29 July 1983 when services were restored. It is now a major transport option for students of the nearby widely renowned Perth Modern School.[1][2]

On 18 June 1986, a new West Perth station opened on the other side of the West Perth Subway.[3] It was renamed City West on 19 November 1987 in conjunction with the opening of an adjacent Parry Corporation commercial development of the same name.[4]

Services

City West station is served by Transperth Fremantle line services from Fremantle to Perth that continue through to Midland via the Midland line.[5][6]

gollark: The problem with spaces is that you can’t actually see them. So you can’t be sure they’re correct. Also they aren’t actually there anyway - they are the absence of code. “Anti-code” if you will. Too many developers format their code “to make it more maintainable” (like that’s actually a thing), but they’re really just filling the document with spaces. And it’s impossible to know how spaces will effect your code, because if you can’t see them, then you can’t read them. Real code wizards know to just write one long line and pack it in tight. What’s that you say? You wrote 600 lines of code today? Well I wrote one, and it took all week, but it’s the best. And when I hand this project over to you next month I’ll have solved world peace in just 14 lines and you will be so lucky to have my code on your screen <ninja chop>.
