Whitfords Railway Station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Joondalup line, 19 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of Padbury.

History

Design and construction

At the time of the station's design, it was recognised by The Urban Rail Electrification Committee that the placement of bus services in close proximity or direct connection to rail infrastructure was of significant importance. This was evidenced by the Kelmscott and Armadale stations, and the then recently completed Cannington station.[1]

Under the Northern Suburbs Transit System Project, construction on the station was scheduled to commence on 16 November 1991, with completion expected by the end of December 1992. Warwick station being of exactly the same design was scheduled for construction in synchronisation with Whitfords station.[2]

The station was to include a number of facilities, including a bus concourse to connect with feeder bus services, information booths and offices for railway staff, amenities and services, as well as access services for mobility impaired passengers in line with design requirements of the time. Further to this, pieces of the Passenger Information Network installed at the station included previously unseen electronic displays on the upper bus decks designed to provide drivers with information so they could connect with appointed trains or communicate with bus depot control in the event of delays.[1]

North of the station a headshunt was laid for terminating trains. Even though the siding is in the middle of the Mitchell Freeway with no pedestrian access, Transperth were forced to fence the area in 2006 due to repeated graffiti attacks while trains were briefly in the siding.[2] Car parking spaces were also included as part of the construction project, which included a significant number of on-grade parking bays on the eastern side of the station for commuter use.[1]

The design of the station also allowed for the possible extension of the upper bus deck in a northern direction towards Whitfords Avenue.[1] This extension would provide for five additional regular bus bays, as well as additional pedestrian access if required.[3]

The most interesting part of the station was the upper bus deck. The deck was constructed of precast concrete that was formed off site, which was then transported to the site before being placed atop columns constructed as part of the stations foundations. Precast concrete flooring was then put in place, held in specially formed ridges running the length of the beams. This upper deck was the most expensive structural element of the station, and was the cause of significant attention and consideration as part of the design and construction process.[3]

Whitfords station opened on 28 February 1993.[2][4][5]
