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 and the second half of the new station opened on 8 April 2024. By the end of 2024, the Morley–Ellenbrook line will 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.
Description
Bayswater station is in Bayswater, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It is on a viaduct crossing Coode Street within the heart of the Bayswater town centre. To the south is Whatley Crescent and to the north is Railway Parade.[2] It is 6.7 kilometres (4.2 mi),[3]: 10 or a 12-minute train journey, from Perth station, and is within fare zone one. The adjacent stations are Meltham station towards Perth, Ashfield station towards Midland and Redcliffe station towards High Wycombe.[4]
Bayswater station has a single
History
On 1 March 1881, the
By 1888, there was a
Access to the station was an issue over the decades since it was constructed. At first, the only way into the station was from the south near Slade Street, and the station yard did not have good access. In 1898, the
First rebuild
During the late 1960s, Bayswater station was rebuilt just north of the previous station, as an island platform. This was because the Midland line was being converted from narrow gauge to dual gauge, and side platforms were not compatible with the standard gauge trains. The Bayswater Subway was rebuilt as well with a greater length and clearance. The goods yard was shut down as well, making the end of goods trains serving Bayswater station.[8]: 268–269 [18]
The new station consisted of a single island platform with two platform faces. The platform was approximately 95 metres (312 ft) long, or long enough for a four-car train but not for a six-car train. At the west end of the platform was a pedestrian
Second rebuild
Proposals
Following the 2014
In the lead up to the
Before the 2017 Western Australian state election, the Labor Party promised $40 million for upgrading Bayswater station as part of their Metronet project, in addition to the $7 million that was already allocated to the station from the Forrestfield–Airport Link budget.[23] They said that sinking the station was an option they would consider. Labor later won the election, setting into motion the planning for the Bayswater station upgrade.[24]
Planning
The scope and constraints for the Bayswater station rebuild were revealed on 8 April 2018. The project's budget had increased to $86 million; construction was scheduled to start in 2019, and finish by the end of 2020, before the opening of the Forrestfield–Airport Link. The plan revealed that Bayswater station will become an elevated station, which would increase the height of the bridge over King William Street/Coode Street from 3.8 metres (12 ft) to at least 4.8 metres (16 ft), and create a public space below the railway. The platforms will be 150 metres (490 ft) long, or long enough to fit a six-car train, whereas the existing station is only long enough for a four-car train. The platforms will also be relocated west to pass over King William Street/Coode Street. This allows the station to be on a straight section of track, keeping the gap between the platform and train to a minimum. This also allows there to be station entrances on both sides of those roads, improving access to the station. The scope also includes a
The elevated station was planned to have two platform faces, with contingency for expansion to four platform faces if needed for the Morley–Ellenbrook line. The new station was planned to be built immediately south of the rail corridor and existing station, to minimise the impact on services during construction. The two extra platforms were planned to be built where the existing station is, after the new station became operational and the old station is demolished.[25][26][6] It was later confirmed in August 2019 that the two additional platform faces would be included in the project's scope, as the Morley–Ellenbrook line was confirmed to branch off from the Midland line at Bayswater.[27][28][29] This will make Bayswater station the largest railway station in Perth outside the Perth central business district.[30] Sinking the station was ruled out, as it would require the rebuild or closure of Meltham station; it would cause major disruption to the Midland line, with services cancelled for a significant amount of time; the design of the Forrestfield–Airport Link tunnel portal in Bayswater precluded sinking Bayswater station; and the regional diesel trains that run along the Midland line, such as the Indian Pacific and The Prospector, would require complex ventilation in a tunnel.[6][25][26]
Following the reveal of the scope and constraints, Metronet undertook what they said was the most extensive community consultation process for a railway station development in Perth, which included the formation of a community advisory group for the concept design, the survey of 972 people, and hosting community drop-in sessions, which 300 people attended.
Local residents and community groups criticised the concept design for the size of the bus interchange, the disconnection of Whatley Crescent, the need to remove significant trees, and that the station would be surrounded on all sides by roads. Community group Future Bayswater proposed an alternative road layout, that had the intersection of Whatley Crescent, Railway Parade, King William Street, and Coode Street underneath the station overpass, removing the need for Beechboro Road South to pass under the railway to the east of the station. The alternative design also had Whatley Crescent east of King William Street be a shared space or shared street, allowing local residents to drive through but helping to allay the problem that the station is surrounded on four sides by roads.[36]
A request for proposal was released on 11 April 2019 for the design and construction of the station. At that stage, contract award and the beginning of construction were still planned for the end of 2019. The request for proposal closed the following month.[37][38][39] In August 2019, two proponents were shortlisted for receiving the contract to design and built the station: the Better Bayswater Alliance, consisting of Georgiou Group and Lendlease, and the Evolve Bayswater Alliance, consisting of Coleman Rail and Decmil.[40][41]
Early works and further planning
Early works on the station began in late 2019, with the relocation of underground cables in the vicinity of the station.[42][43] In January 2020, a kurrajong tree was relocated by a crane from Bayswater station to Bert Wright Park. The tree, which was 80 years old at the time, was deemed too significant to cut down, so it was instead relocated. The process started in May 2019, when arborists started trimming the tree's roots. The relocation took place on 9 January 2020, using one crane to lift the 17-tonne (37-thousand-pound) tree and another crane to move the tree 200 metres (660 ft) down King William Street to the park.[44][45][46]
To offset the 180 car parking bays planned to be removed from Bayswater station, 100 parking bays were added to Meltham station, and 83 parking bays were added to Ashfield station. Parking was also made free at Ashfield, as that station is in fare zone two, as opposed to Bayswater and Meltham in fare zone one. To make those stations more attractive to use, starting in July 2019, stopping patterns were removed on the Midland line, making all trains stop at those stations. The $1.6 million contract to design and build those carparks was awarded to Westforce Construction in October 2019. Construction on the carparks started in February 2020 and was completed in October 2020.[47][48][49]
On 9 April 2020, Evolve Bayswater was announced to be the preferred proponent. The budget was increased to $253 million as well, due to the additional platforms being included in the project's scope.
A new design was released in October 2020, which included escalators, redesigned platform shelters, and a corrugated iron finish on the bridge designed to mimic the metal fluting on a Transperth A-series train. The new shelters in the design cover 70% of the platform, and have vertical screens to reduce wind. The design has one escalator to each pair of platforms, in addition to the two stairs and lifts to each platform. Community members said the design was an improvement on the May 2020 concept design, but criticism of the road layout had yet to be addressed by the government.[58][59][60]
Construction
Just before Christmas 2020, the development application for the station received conditional approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). This allowed construction to commence in January 2021. During that month, the number of lanes on Whatley Crescent was reduced, and on-street parking was removed. The Principal Shared Path parallel to the railway line was relocated onto Whatley Crescent. The closure of the carparks south of the railway occurred after that, and then earthworks began.[61] Local businesses complained about the lack of parking, saying that had gone down since the removal of parking on Whatley Crescent.[62] In May 2021, Metronet provided $236,000 to the City of Bayswater to build 20 temporary parking bays.[63]
Vibrations and loud noise have been an issue during construction, especially during the
The installation of bridge pillars began in September 2021.
The first half of the new station was originally going to open following a shutdown of the line from 23 September to 16 October 2022.[69][79] In August, this was delayed to January 2023 as a result of supply chain disruptions, with the possibility of it being delayed again to April 2023 left open.[80] In February 2023, it was confirmed that the Airport and Midland lines would close between 31 March and 26 April and that the bridge would be demolished between 14 and 17 April.[81][82] The previous station permanently closed at the start of the shutdown and was demolished by 3 April.[83] A free shuttle bus ran between Bayswater and Meltham while the station was closed and a community event to celebrate the Bayswater Bridge was held on 30 April.[84][85] The shutdown involved demolishing the previous station and bridge, replacing 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) of track, expanding the Leake Street pedestrian underpass, construction of the turnback siding, piling works for the two northern bridges and piling works for the Morley–Ellenbrook line viaduct.[81] Local businesses, including the Bayswater Traders Association, asked the state government to reconsider the length of the station's closure and the staging of associated road closures and have threatened a mass compensation claim for lost business.[86][87]
In the May 2023 state budget, a $107.4 million cost overrun for the Bayswater station project was revealed.[88][89] The first half of the new station was planned to open in September 2023, eventually opening on 8 October 2023.[90][91] The second half of the station opened on 8 April 2024, following a shutdown of the Airport and Midland lines between 28 March and 8 April 2024, where the eastbound track was realigned to platform four of Bayswater station. Platforms two and three will open when the Morley–Ellenbrook line opens, which is planned for the end of 2024.[92][93]
Metronet East Redevelopment Area
In June 2019, DevelopmentWA began the process of expanding the Midland Redevelopment Area to include the areas surrounding Bayswater station and High Wycombe station, renaming it the Metronet East Redevelopment Area.[94][95][96] DevelopmentWA said the purpose of the redevelopment area was to "maximise development opportunities arising from the station upgrades and help create a well-designed and connected community hub." The boundaries of the area were formally established in May 2020.[97][98] A draft redevelopment scheme for Metronet East was released in August 2020.[99] The redevelopment scheme was formally adopted in May 2021, transferring planning authority from the City of Bayswater and the WAPC to DevelopmentWA.[100][101]

Bayswater station is served by the Midland line and the Airport line on the Transperth network. The Midland line goes between Midland station and Perth station, continuing past Perth as the Fremantle line. The Airport line goes between High Wycombe station via Perth Airport, Bayswater station and Perth station to Claremont station.[4] It will also be served by the Morley–Ellenbrook line when that opens in late 2024.[105][106] Services on that line will go between Ellenbrook station and Perth station via Bayswater.[107]
Midland line and Airport line trains each stop at Bayswater station every twelve minutes during peak on weekdays and every fifteen minutes during the day outside peak and on weekends and public holidays. This makes for a combined peak frequency of a train every six minutes between Bayswater and Claremont. Late at night, trains on each line are half-hourly or hourly.[108][109] When the Morley–Ellenbrook line opens, services on that line will stop every twelve minutes during peak. It is planned that by 2031, services on each of the three lines will be every ten minutes during peak.[110] The station saw 527,269 passengers in the 2013–14 financial year.[1]
Bayswater station has three regular bus routes adjacent to it: route 48 and routes 998 and 999, also known as the
