Lathlain railway station

The station opened on 2 May 1958 to serve Lathlain Park, the home ground of the Perth Football Club.

[3] The South West Metropolitan Railway Master Plan, published in 2000, found that there were too many stations spaced closely together on the Armadale line between Perth and Kenwick.

[4] It was therefore decided to close Lathlain station, which would allow for the lowering of the tracks in the area for the replacement of the nearby Bishopsgate Street level crossing with a bridge across the railway at Miller Street/Roberts Road.

[citation needed] In September 2003, a contract worth $7.2 million was awarded to Works Infrastructure Pty Ltd for the deviation and lowering of tracks in the Victoria Park-Lathlain area, the construction of the Miller Street/Roberts Road bridge, and the construction of a pedestrian bridge at Howick Street.

[10] The Miller Street/Roberts Road bridge opened on 26 June 2004, after which the Bishopsgate Street level crossing closed.
