Currambine Train Station, is a Transperth train station 29.2km from Perth Train Station, in Western Australia. It is on the Joondalup Line.
Originally built in 1993 as an extension to the Joondalup Line, it was designed as both a passenger station and a cleaning depot. The cleaning depot also enabled the storage of up to six two carriage trains (three per track), which negated the transfer of rollingstock from the Claisebrook railway depot to enable a quicker commencement of each day's services.
In 2004, the original station was demolished and rebuilt 60 metres east of the original site as part of enabling works for the future extension of the line to Clarkson, and connection with a new rail depot in Nowergup, Western Australia designed for the storage and maintenance of newer B-series rolling-stock.
The relocation of the station was controversial at the time amongst people in the surrounding area. The relocation placed the new station in the middle of the gazetted freeway reserve adjacent to the western side of the original station. The construction of the new station building and demolition of the original facilities was required as part of planned extensions to the network as well as to the Mitchell Freeway bringing it to Burns Beach Road, currently scheduled for completion in 2008. Local residents were unhappy at the station being rebuilt and were left wondering at the lack of foresight by the Lawrence Government who oversaw the location, design, and construction of the original station[citation needed].
