Loch Street railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Fremantle line, eight kilometres from Perth station serving the suburbs of Claremont, Mount Claremont and Karrakatta.
History
Loch Street station opened in 1954. Its construction was part of the conversion of Perth's passenger train system from steam to diesel power, allowing smaller intervals between stations.[1][2] On 18 August 2002, Loch Street had its regular services limited due to low passenger numbers, closeness to Karrakatta station (500 metres) and, prior to May 2009, the length of its platforms.[3][4][5] The platforms weren't long enough to accommodate four car train sets, resulting in alternate trains skipping the station. Only two car train sets stopped, at night and on weekends. In May 2009, work to extend the platforms was completed.[6]
Services
Loch Street station is served by Transperth Fremantle line services from Fremantle to Perth that continue through to Midland via the Midland line.[7][8]
