Location of Greenwood station

Greenwood railway station is a park and ride suburban railway station in Perth, Western Australia, within the suburbs of Duncraig and Greenwood. The station is on the Joondalup line and is part of the Transperth network. Located within the median strip of the Mitchell Freeway at an interchange with Hepburn Avenue, Greenwood station consists of two side platforms connected to a car park east of the freeway by a footbridge.

The station was included within early plans for the Joondalup line in the 1980s, but the final plan for the Joondalup line, which opened in December 1992, did not include the construction of Greenwood station. After several promises by the state government during the 1990s to build the station, a A$6.8 million contract was awarded to John Holland Group in February 2004 to construct the station. Construction began in March 2004, and the station opened on 29 January 2005, relieving pressure on the car parks at Warwick and Whitfords stations.

Trains at Greenwood station run at a five-minute frequency during peak hour, lowering to a fifteen-minute frequency off peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The journey to Perth Underground station takes seventeen minutes. Until 2014, there was limited bus service at Greenwood station, including a route to Hillarys Boat Harbour, but since then, there have been no regular bus routes serving the station.
