Joondalup Railway Station - Station Layout

Station Layout

In contrast to almost all of Perth's railway stations, Joondalup is one of the few sunken stations in the Transperth Trains system. In many respects, its design is quite similar to that of Subiaco on the Fremantle Line in that it is below ground in a growing transport-oriented development precinct.

Joondalup station lies in an open cut north of Collier Place with a busway surrounding the east, west, and northern sides of the station. The majority of parking available at the station is adjacent to the western side of the busway, but some is available to the east. Access to the station is provided by concourses on the northern and southern ends of the platform at street level; as Joondalup is a closed station, there are SmartRider faregates at these locations. Upon passing through the faregates, passengers are able to descend to track level using escalators, staircases, or lifts. At track level, Joondalup utilises a simple island platform layout with two tracks, one on each side. Platform 1 is used by trains heading towards central Perth whilst platform 2 is used by trains bound for Clarkson.
