Morley railway station is a bus and railway station under construction as part of the Metronet Morley–Ellenbrook Line, serving the Perth suburbs of Bayswater, Embleton and Morley. It is to be built in the median strip of Tonkin Highway at Broun Avenue.[1]

History[]

A railway station in Morley has been proposed in the past. In 2016, the Barnett Government proposed an underground line to Morley from Perth station, with an underground station at the Galleria Shopping Centre.[2]

Station design[]

Morley station will be built in the median strip of Tonkin Highway at Broun Avenue. It will have a bus interchange built on a bridge parallel to Broun Avenue, similar to that of Bull Creek and Murdoch railway stations. As part of the construction of the station, the Broun Avenue bridge will be rebuilt. The bus interchange will have 12 bus stands, and feature a high frequency route to Morley bus station, among others.[3] There will be two lifts and two stairs down to platform level, one of each on either side of the Broun Avenue bridge. Other station facilities include a kiosk, toilets, and secure bicycle shelters.[1]

There will be a multi-storey car park built south of the station, with 400 car bays. Access to the car park will be via Wotton Street. As part of the construction of the car park, the Bayswater Skate Park will have to be relocated. Possible locations for the new skate park include Broun Park and Joan Rycroft Reserve.[1][4]

Services[]

Morley station will be served by Transperth trains operating along the Morley–Ellenbrook Line between Perth and Ellenbrook, and Transperth busses. It is projected that a rail journey to Perth will take 15 minutes. Morley station is in fare zone 2.[1] The station is projected to have 1,365 passenger boardings per day in 2031.[5]
