It is 5.5 kilometres (2.8 mi), or 10 minutes by train, from Perth railway station Services run every 6 minutes during peak and every 7.5 minutes between peak.

The station was built during the late 1940s, after first being promised in 1898, and after decades of campaigning by residents and the Bayswater Road Board. The station underwent a refurbishment in 2012. Development of higher density buildings around Meltham station has been a contentious issue since the mid 2010s.
