Ashfield railway station is a railway station on theTransperth network. It is located on theMidland line, 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) fromPerth station serving the suburb ofAshfield.
The station opened as asignal box named Cresco in 1930, with passenger facilities provided in 1954. The signal box remained until 1964.[2]
Construction on a new 83-bay car park started in February 2020. The new car park was needed because 180 bays were permanently removed fromBayswater station in late-2020 due to the construction of the new Bayswater station. Since Ashfield station is in fare zone two, and Bayswater station is in fare zone one, catching the train into the city is more expensive from Ashfield. In order to offset the additional cost for passengers going to Ashfield station instead of Bayswater, the parking at Ashfield station was free during the construction of the new Bayswater station. All other stations on the Transperth network have a $2 per day parking fee.[3][4] The new carpark opened in October 2020.[5]
Ashfield station is served by the Midland line on the Transperth network. This line goes betweenMidland station andPerth station. Midland line trains stop at the station every 12 minutes during peak on weekdays, and every 15 minutes during the day outside peak every day of the year except Christmas Day. Trains are half-hourly or hourly at night time.[6] The station saw 143,391 passengers in the 2013–2014 financial year.[1]
