Greenwood railway station is a park and ride suburban railway station in Perth, Western Australia, within the suburbs of Duncraig and Greenwood. The station is on the Yanchep line and is part of the Transperth network. Located within the median strip of the Mitchell Freeway at an interchange with Hepburn Avenue, Greenwood station consists of two side platforms connected to a car park east of the freeway by a footbridge.

The station was included in early plans for the Joondalup line (now called the Yanchep line) in the 1980s, but the final plan for the Joondalup line, which opened in December 1992, did not include the construction of Greenwood station. After several promises by the state government during the 1990s to build the station, a A$6.8{{nbsp}}million contract was awarded to John Holland Group in February 2004 to construct the station. Construction began in March 2004, and the station opened on 29 January 2005, relieving pressure on the car parks at Warwick and Whitfords stations.

Trains at Greenwood station run at a five-minute frequency during peak hour, lowering to a fifteen-minute frequency off-peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The journey to Perth Underground station takes seventeen minutes. Until 2014, there was limited bus service at Greenwood station, including a route to Hillarys Boat Harbour, but since then, there have been no regular bus routes serving the station.

History

During the initial planning for the Joondalup line (now called the Yanchep line) in the 1980s, a station at Hepburn Avenue was originally considered,{{cite book |author1=Travers Morgan |author2=Pak Poy and Kneebone |author3=Blackwell and Associates |author4=Uloth and Associates |title=Public Transport for Perth's Northern Suburbs: A Summary of the Northern Suburbs Rapid Transit Study |date=September 1988 |pages=6–7}} however the Northern Suburbs Transit System Master Plan, released in November 1989, determined that a station there would not be built initially and that provisions would be put in place for the station's construction at a later date.{{cite book |author1=Urban Rail Electrification Steering Committee |title=Northern Suburbs Transit System: Perth – Joondalup Railway: Master Plan Executive Summary |url=https://archive.sro.wa.gov.au/uploads/r/srowa/a/1/8/a1826bd403c65f32c96482e7da5f0d534004aad6ddd8487b3ae7fe8a943937ab/S1228_cons6150_24360.pdf |via=State Records Office of Western Australia |date=November 1989 |page=4 |access-date=25 April 2024 |archive-date=12 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812191316/https://archive.sro.wa.gov.au/uploads/r/srowa/a/1/8/a1826bd403c65f32c96482e7da5f0d534004aad6ddd8487b3ae7fe8a943937ab/S1228_cons6150_24360.pdf |url-status=live }} The Joondalup line ended up opening on 20 December 1992.{{cite web |title=Opening of Perth-Joondalup rail link |url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Lawrence-Labor-Government/Opening-of-Perth-Joondalup-rail-link-19921220 |website=Media Statements |access-date=24 April 2024 |date=20 December 1992 |archive-date=26 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230726105746/https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Lawrence-Labor-Government/Opening-of-Perth-Joondalup-rail-link-19921220 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Hooker |first1=Peter |title=Transperth tips rail boom |work=The West Australian |date=21 December 1992 |page=4}}

A study by the Department of Transport in 1996 found that demand for parking at Warwick and Whitfords stations was higher than expected, and recommended the preferred solution was building Greenwood station instead of expanding parking at Warwick or Whitfords stations, which would have cost more and been disruptive to passengers.{{cite web |title=Northern Suburbs Transit System – Currambine to Butler Extension – Interim Master Plan |url=http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Plans/NSTS/NSTS%20-%20Currambine%20to%20Butler%20Extension%20-%2012%20-%20Stations.pdf |website=New MetroRail |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829061302/http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Plans/NSTS/NSTS%20-%20Currambine%20to%20Butler%20Extension%20-%2012%20-%20Stations.pdf |archive-date=29 August 2007 |page=81 |date=June 2000}} The state Coalition government announced in December 1997 that Greenwood station would be constructed by June 1999 as the first infill station on the Joondalup line.{{cite web |title=Go-ahead for new railway station at Hepburn Avenue, Greenwood |url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Court-Coalition-Government/Go-ahead-for-new-railway-station-at-Hepburn-Avenue,-Greenwood-19971205 |website=Media Statements |access-date=24 April 2024 |date=5 December 1997}} A second announcement in March 1999 put the station's opening date at May 2000,{{cite web |title=New railway station to be built at Hepburn Ave, Greenwood |url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Court-Coalition-Government/New-railway-station-to-be-built-at-Hepburn-Ave,-Greenwood-19990322 |website=Media Statements |access-date=24 April 2024 |date=22 March 1999}} and in June 1999, the government revealed the station's design and said that construction would be underway in July 1999,{{cite news |last1=Rylance |first1=Paul |title=July Start For New Station |work=The West Australian |date=5 June 1999 |page=55}} but by December 1999, construction had not begun.{{cite news |last1=Grove |first1=Jennifer |title=Station Off Rails: Labor |work=The West Australian |date=18 December 1999 |page=63}} The Currambine to Butler Extension Master Plan, released in June 2000,{{cite web |title=Minister says the push is on for earlier Clarkson rail link |url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Court-Coalition-Government/Minister-says-the-push-is-on-for-earlier-Clarkson-rail-link-20000621 |website=Media Statements |access-date=25 April 2024 |date=21 June 2000 |archive-date=25 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240425063529/https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Court-Coalition-Government/Minister-says-the-push-is-on-for-earlier-Clarkson-rail-link-20000621 |url-status=live }} said that the construction of Greenwood station should be delayed to coincide with the extension of the Joondalup line to Clarkson, scheduled to open in 2003, due to the additional rolling stock required for the station to open.{{cite web |title=Northern Suburbs Transit System – Currambine to Butler Extension – Interim Master Plan |url=http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Plans/NSTS/NSTS%20-%20Currambine%20to%20Butler%20Extension%20-%2002%20-%20Executive%20Overview.pdf |website=New MetroRail |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829055442/http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Plans/NSTS/NSTS%20-%20Currambine%20to%20Butler%20Extension%20-%2002%20-%20Executive%20Overview.pdf |archive-date=29 August 2007 |page=4 |date=June 2000}}
