It is located in the median of the Mitchell Freeway, and consists of an elevated bus interchange on top of an island platform at ground level.

Whitfords railway station is on the boundary of Padbury and Kingsley, suburbs of Perth, Western Australia.

The station consists of an elevated bus interchange on top of an island platform at ground level.

The platform is accessed from the bus interchange island via stairs, a set of escalators, a lift, or a ramp.

[4] Under the Northern Suburbs Transit System Project, construction on the station was scheduled to commence on 16 November 1991, with completion expected by the end of December 1992.

Further to this, pieces of the Passenger Information Network installed at the station included previously unseen electronic displays on the upper bus decks designed to provide drivers with information so they could connect with appointed trains or communicate with bus depot control in the event of delays.

[4] The design of the station also allowed for the possible extension of the upper bus deck in a northern direction towards Whitfords Avenue.

The precast concrete flooring was then put in place and held in specially formed ridges running the length of the beams.

This upper deck was the most expensive structural element of the station, and was the cause of significant attention and consideration as part of the design and construction process.

In addition, during peak, W pattern services run every 10 minutes south of Whitfords, using the turnback siding north of the station to turn around.

At the end of peak periods, K pattern services run every 10 minutes from Elizabeth Quay to Clarkson station.
