Daglish station is on the Fremantle and Airport lines, which are part of the Transperth public transport network.

[2] It is owned by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), a state government agency,[a][5] and is part of the Transperth system.

From about 2034, the platform is planned to be lengthened to 150 metres (490 ft) in the eastern direction to accommodate six-car trains.

[2] On the platform are two small red brick buildings under a single terracotta tiled roof.

The station building, platform, and underpass are largely the same as when originally built, with the main change being that the doors and windows are bricked in.

It was used by trains operating special event services for Subiaco Oval[10] until the stadium was closed in 2017.

The Subiaco Municipal Council started lobbying the Government of Western Australia for a station to be built near Lawler Street.

In 1922, after many meetings between the premier, the minister for railways, and the mayor of Subiaco, Walter Richardson, the government promised that the station would be built.

[18]: 244–247  Until the 1940s, Daglish station served as a freight depot, which is the reason for McCallum Avenue being so wide.

[23] An assistant station master also worked from 4 pm to midnight, but that position was abolished in October 1962.

[8][24] In May 2007, the turnback siding was opened between the mainline tracks south-west of the station, permitting the reversal of six-car trains moving special event crowds to and from Subiaco Oval.

There have been complaints from local residents regarding the noise generated by trains entering and exiting the siding regularly.

There have been reports of cracks in the concrete platform and underpass structure, which local residents have claimed could result in the closure of Daglish station.
