History
Kelmscott station opened on 2 May 1893 as one of the original stations on the Armadale Line.[1] A rebuilt Kelmscott station that integrated a bus interchange with its train platforms opened on 2 July 1980.[2]
In 2008, the Public Transport Authority completed a $10.8 million upgrade of the station.[3]
The station was closed on 20 November 2023 for an 18 month shutdown to facilitate works on the Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal and Byford Rail Extension projects. During this time the station received a number of upgrades, and saw the removal of the congested nearby level crossing at Denny Avenue and construction of a replacement underpass at Davis Road. This project also saw the refurbishment of the public space on the Albany Highway side of the station, with a new plaza constructed and the original Station Master's house restored.[4][5] The station reopened on 12 October 2025 with the extension to Byford.

Bus routes
Kelmscott station is unique from other Transperth bus interchange train stations as all 5 of its bus stands are located between the two platforms edges of the island platform.[10] This means that all buses which serve the interchange must cross two bus-only level crossings to both enter and exit the train station.
