Byford railway station is located on the South Western Railway in Western Australia. It serves the south-eastern Perth suburb of Byford.

History

The original Byford station was the terminus for selected services from Perth. It closed and was demolished in the late 1980s.

In the late 1990s, a new station was built as a calling place for The Australind.[1]

It has been proposed that Transperth's Armadale Line service be extended to a new station in Byford.[2][3]
