Elizabeth Quay station, formerly known as the Esplanade station, serves the southern end of Perth's central business district including Elizabeth Quay and the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. It is part of the Transperth network.

History

Elizabeth Quay station was built as part of the New MetroRail project.[1] Construction began in 2004[2] with the station opening under the name Esplanade station on 15 October 2007, as the terminus of the Joondalup line.[3][4] On 23 December 2007, the Mandurah line opened and through services commenced.[5] On 31 January 2016, Esplanade station and the Esplanade Busport were renamed to Elizabeth Quay railway station and Elizabeth Quay Bus Station at an estimated combined cost of $700,000. The opposition Labor Party criticised the costs given the state's poor finances.[6]

Services

Elizabeth Quay station is served by Transperth Joondalup and Mandurah line services.[7][8]
