Lathlain Station, April 2002
Opened : 1959
Original Name : Lathlain Station
Station History : The station at Lathlain, was built after the opening of the Lathlain Park football ground, nearby to the station and it was
built to serve football followers making their way too and from the ground and also for the local residents.
However, with the re-building of Victoria Park Station, Lathlain Station closed down for good, because Victoria Park Station, was reposistioned
closer to Lathlain, causing Lathlain to become redundant.
This has come about, due to only small numbers of people using Lathlain Station and also because there is a push at the moment to close down lightly
used stations that are close by to heavily used stations, to improve transit times. The new Victoria Park Station, when complete will take on the role of
nearest stopping point for Lathlain Park football goers travelling by train to the games there.
Lathlain Station, receiving platform resurfacing, circa 1990's.
