History
The original North Fremantle station on the north side of Tydeman Street opened in 1881.[1]
The station and yard was linked to the Rocky Bay line, during the existence of the life of the branch line.[2] It was also linked to the Leighton Marshalling Yard, and the railway lines in the grounds of North Wharf of Fremantle Harbour.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5][6]
From 2034, North Fremantle station's platforms are planned to be extended to the north to accommodate six-car trains.[7]
