Armadale railway station is a railway station on the South Western Railway, 30 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of Armadale. It is the terminating point for Transperth Armadale line services and a calling point for Transwa Australind services.
The original station opened on 2 May 1893 when the South Western Railway opened from Claisebrook to Pinjarra. As part of the electrification of the line in the early 1990s, a new station was built with the former signal box relocated to the Armadale Tourist Centre. On 6 November 2004 another new station opened.
On 15 July 1907 Armadale became a junction station when the Spearwood-Armadale line opened. This line closed on 23 January 1964.
Armadale station is the terminus for Transperth Armadale line services. It is also served by Transwa Australind services to Bunbury. For a time, The Australind did stopped at Kelmscott, however this was reverted in April 1992.
Armadale is also served by Transwa services to Perth Coach Terminal, Albany and Esperance.
