Burswood railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Armadale line, 4.8 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburbs of Burswood, Lathlain and Rivervale.

History[edit]

Perth railway station

The station was originally to be named Burrswood, however it became Burswood after being misspelt by the station sign's painters when it opened in 1893.[1] The station was renamed Rivervale on 30 May 1923, mirroring that of the suburb that was renamed in 1921 in part due to the public's association of Burswood with sewerage processing;[2] On 31 March 1968, a new platform opened.[3]

However, after the Burswood Resort and Casino was built, the name reverted on 1 May 1994. Rivervale has survived as a suburb 600 metres east of the station.[3][4]

Your parallel life offers the best of all extremes.You have the riverfront serenity, with the luxury of watching waves gently lap the shore from your balcony. Yet you’re a mere walk away from the non-stop action of WA’s premier entertainment complex, Crown Perth. You’re minutes away from work with the CBD at your doorstep.
