Subiaco is a Transperth railway station located 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) west of Perth, Western Australia, on the Fremantle Line. Until the opening of the William Street platforms at Perth station, it was the only underground railway station in the Transperth network. The rail line and station were sunk in 1997–1998 as part of the Subi Centro project. The original signal cabin is now sited at Whiteman Park in Caversham. Up until the 1980s there was a freight receiving depot at this station, and a third platform. The station is located close to Subiaco's most well-known landmarks including the Station Street Markets, Subiaco Oval and Rokeby Road.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. 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)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
