History
The station was built in 1907, and was demolished and rebuilt in 1968. Originally called Fenian's Crossing, the original station was positioned on the embankment between the subway and where the current station is located.[1]

There is one access point on each of these roads to the station, meeting on the western end of the platform at a ramp that leads down to the boarding area.[2] Guildford Road is located approximately 150m from the station, providing direct road access to central Perth as well.
