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.[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] It is now a major transport option for students of the nearby Perth Modern School.
