Carlisle Station

Carlisle Station, 9th of April 2004

Opened : 1893 (siding) 1912 (Station)
Original Name : Haydon’s Siding (1893 -1912), Mint Street Station (1912), East Victoria Park (1912 -1919), Carlisle Station (1919 - to the present)
Station History : In 1893 a siding was opened up shortly after the completion of the railway line from East Perth to Pinjarra, at the site of Carlisle Station, it was referred to as Haydon’s Siding, due to the name of a machinery company that operated nearby and used the siding at that site. It wasn’t until 1912 that a station platform was actually built here to service the local population .When the Station was first built for a short time it was referred to as Mint Street Station, but that was changed to East Victoria Park Station, which then in turn was renamed to Carlisle Station in 1919. 

In 2004, the station was pretty much rebuilt, from the ground up, a new steel shelter has been constructed (pictured above), compared to the old brick shelter
(pictured, two photos below), the old wooden edging on the old platform has been removed and in it's place is aluminum edging. The old bitumen platform
surface, which is common place at so many of the suburban stations, has been replaced with paving bricks, new lights have been installed and also a close circut
security camera system has been installed at the station. It also looks like the lengh of the platform has been shortened, but I'm not sure about that.

All in all the new station is a much better sight than the previous station.
