History

The original North Fremantle station on the north side of Tydeman Street opened in 1881.[1] In 1964, a new station halt opened in conjunction with a new Fremantle Railway Bridge with the original site redeveloped as a diesel locomotive depot.[2]

On 28 July 1991 as part of the electrification of the line, a new station opened 800 metres to the north also replacing Leighton station that was a further 700 metres further north.[3][4]

To the west of the station lies a freight line to the closed Leighton Marshalling Yard.

Services

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