Bayswater railway station is a suburban rail station in Bayswater, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It is the junction station for Transperth's Midland and Airport lines, and the Morley–Ellenbrook line when it opens in late 2024.
The station first opened in 1896 on the Perth to Midland railway with two side platforms and an adjacent goods yard. It served as the junction station for the Belmont spur line between 1896 and 1956. Bayswater station was rebuilt as an island platform just to the north in the late 1960s when the Midland line was converted from narrow gauge to dual gauge; the standard gauge trains were unable to fit between the side platforms. Around that time, the goods yard closed.
A second rebuild of Bayswater station began in January 2021 in order to increase the number of platforms to four to accommodate the under-construction Airport and Morley–Ellenbrook lines, and raise the height of the nearby 3.8-metre-high (12 ft) low-clearance Bayswater Subway to 4.8 metres (16 ft). The Airport line opened on 9 October 2022. The old station closed on 31 March 2023 and was demolished soon after that. The first half of the new station opened on 8 October 2023, the second half of the new station opened on 8 April 2024, and the bus station opened on 22 April 2024. By the end of 2024, the Morley–Ellenbrook line is planned to open.
Services on each line run every twelve minutes during peak and every fifteen minutes between peak, for a combined frequency of a train every six minutes during peak and 7.5 minutes between peak. The journey to Perth station is 6.7 kilometres (4.2 mi), and takes twelve minutes. Feeder buses run to Elizabeth Quay bus station, Morley bus station, Bassendean, and other places.
