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.
Since the opening of the Airport line in 2022 and the Ellenbrook line in 2024, there has been a large increase in the trains travelling through City West station, which has led to consideration for replacing the pedestrian level crossings with an overpass or underpass.[5]

City West station is served by Transperth Fremantle line services from Fremantle to Perth that continue through to Midland via the Midland line, and Airport line services from Claremont to High Wycombe.[6][7]
