Beckenham railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Armadale line, 13.8 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of Beckenham.

History

The station opened in 1954 as Higham. The additional station, with two others on the Armadale line, marked the introduction of diesel-mechanical railcars on Perth's metropolitan passenger railways. Higham was renamed Beckenham in 1969. The platforms are staggered across William Street to minimise the time the level crossing is closed to road traffic.

In March 2014 an $8.1 million upgrade to the station and adjacent car parks was completed.

Services

Beckenham station is served by Transperth Armadale line services. Services to and from the Thornlie spur line run non-stop through the station.
