Clarkson railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Joondalup line, 33.2 kilometres (20.6 mi) from Perth station serving the suburb of Clarkson and Mindarie.
History[]
In November 2002, the contract to build Clarkson station was awarded to Transfield Services.[1] It opened on 4 October 2004 as the terminus of the Joondalup line when it was extended from Currambine. Beyond Clarkson, the line continued north for a further 3.5 kilometres to Nowergup depot.[2][3][4]
On 21 September 2014, the line was extended to Butler.[5][6][7][8]
In 2017, the Mitchell Freeway was extended up to Hester Avenue north of the station, passing through Clarkson. The freeway's carriageways were built along both sides of Clarkson station, over what was previously bushland.
