It is located on the Fremantle line and Airport line, 2.7 kilometres from Perth station on the boundary between West Leederville and Subiaco. It was the main station for the former Subiaco Oval containing a special event platform no longer in use.
A station at West Leederville was not part of the original Eastern Railway between Fremantle and Guildford when it opened on 1 March 1881.

[2] [3] [4] [5] The station closed on 1 September 1979 along with the rest of the Fremantle line, re-opening on 29 July 1983 when services were restored.

In 2007, a third platform was added on a stabling siding to the west of the existing platforms. [7] When Subiaco Oval closed in 2017 Platform 3 was abandoned as there was no longer a need to use it. It is still occasionally used as a siding to stable a train.
