History
Lathlain station was located at the intersection of Goddard Street in Lathlain and Gresham Street in Victoria Park, and was built in 1959 in part to service demand for the newly-built Lathlain Park, to which the Perth Football Club had moved.
It was closed from 3 February 2003 and replaced by the new Victoria Park station, and Lathlain station was demolished. Following the decommissioning of the station the "Lathlain" lighted signs were donated to the Perth Football Club. The current photograph to the right shows the site of the demolished station.
