Grant Street Railway Station is a Transperth railway station 11.1 km from Perth railway station, in Western Australia, on the Fremantle Line.
From 2003 to May 2009, four-carriage trains did not stop at Grant Street due to the platforms not being long enough during this period. However, in May 2009, work was completed at the station to extend the platforms, and four-carriage trains now stop at the station.

But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
