East Guildford railway station is a Transperth railway station 14 km from Perth railway station, in Western Australia, on the Midland Line.
History
[edit]The station opened on 13 July 1896 as Woodbridge and served the Royal Agricultural Society's Woodbridge Showgrounds. It was renamed East Guildford on 1 April 1908. Since the change was at the request of the Guildford Municipal Council, the council was charged £35 5s 6d for the cost of changing the name on tickets and station signboards. The station was remodelled in the late 1960s.[2][3][4]
