Perth - Train Station Perth train station entrance looking like it has done for decades. The train station was designed by George Temple-Poole and built between 1893 and 1894. March 2008 |
|
|
Perth - Train Station Perth Train station. A little modernised but it still looks pretty much as it did 40 years ago. Only Metro passenger trains and the Australind run from here now. No more Westland, Kalgoorlie Express, Bunbury Shopper, Albany Progress, Midlander or Mullewa Express! 2007 |
|
|
Perth - Train Station A glimpse inside Perth train station taken from the old bridge which links platform 5 with 6 and 7 - where the Fremantle trains leave from. Today 3 trains await commencement of their journeys. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Train Station Again from the footbridge, this photo takes in some of the fine architecture of Perth train station. Pictured is the "main" platform - the one closest to Wellington Street. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Train Station Here is the fine old wooden footbridge which links the main platform to that where the Fremantle trains depart. This is looking west, towards City West Station (and beyond). August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Train Station The "Australind" nestles into its Perth platform after a good diesel trip from Bunbury. Ready to go back again! May 2008 |
|
|
Perth - New Train Station Only couple of weeks after opening this place is still spick and span. The new Perth Underground Station! 2007 |
|
|
Perth - New Train Station Perth Station has two new platforms underground. Only opened a week ago, here is a train just about to depart for Clarkson. 2007 |
|
|
Perth - New Train Station Looking north up the tunnel from the new Perth Underground Station. Up that way is back into the light and off to Leederville. When the London Underground was first being built around 1863, they used to dig up the streets, build the tracks/stations, then put a roof over it and fill in the hole again. Very inconvenient for road users. Henry Greathead invented the "metal tube" that let the builders work underground. The basis of this technology is still in use today. 2007 |

|
Perth - Globe Hotel The Globe Hotel on Wellington is shining a bit like a globe in the sun today. 2007 |

|
Perth - William Street The south-west corner of Wellington Street and William Street. 2007 |

|
Perth - Entertainment Centre The Entertainment Centre on Wellington Street. This is around where the entrances are. Mothballed for years I think this place is due for demolition. March 2008 |
|
|
Perth - Entertainment Centre The Entertainment Centre again looking from the west along Wellington Street. The car park had gone and this place sure has been neglected. Pity. March 2008 |
|
|
Perth - Entertainment Centre An update on the Entertainment Centre. Now it's in an advanced demolition form. In the background in the Telstra building. August 2011 |
|

|
|
Perth - View from Footbridge The old iron footbridge linking Wellington and Roe streets, spanning the train tracks, is still going strong. This is a view from up on the footbridge looking south to Wellington Street and beyond. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - City Train Lines Viewed from the iron footbridge. A Clarkson-bound train has emerged from the tunnel portal from the rail underground. Those tracks to the left are used by Fremantle trains - soon to be also in a tunnel, I believe. This is looking east - over there in the background somewhere is Perth station. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Corner of Milligan Street This curved building on the corner of Wellington and Milligan Streets used to be a garage and motor repair shop, with a bit of car-parking thrown in for good measure. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Old Garage on Milligan Street A little up Milligan Street, this is the southern side of that curved building. This used to be a service station and right there at ground level were the petrol pumps. I think this was a favourite re-fuelling stop in the old days for taxis. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - Apartments - Milligan Street On the other southern corner of Wellington and Milligan is this huge block of apartments which actually look quite pleasing. Good one for inner-city living. The building next to it, on the right, is the Citigate Hotel. August 2011 |
|
|
Perth - New Stadium Some love it, some hate it, nevertheless it's here - or at least coming. This is the new stadium being built on Wellington Street west. This is a view from the iron-bridge overpass. August 2011 |

|
Perth - New Stadium This view of the new stadium is from Wellington Street. It's taken years to build. This was the site of the old Wellington Street Markets. August 2011 |
