Midland railway station is the terminus of the Midland line in Perth. Western Australia. It is operated by Transperth serving the suburb of Midland. ==History== Midland station was opened on 8 October 1968 by Minister for Transport & Railways Ray O'Connor as a replacement for Midland Junction station when the main Eastern Railway was being converted to dual gauge.〔(History at a glance ) Public Transport Authority〕〔(History of stations on the Midland line ) Righttrack〕 It originally had four narrow gauge platform faces, three terminating and one through. A separate platform was provided for the standard gauge line 150 metres away. One of the terminating lines was lifted in the 1990s and in February 2001, the through line converted to dual gauge allowing ''The Prospector'' to call at the main station.〔"Way and Works" ''Australian Railway Society Bulletin'' issue 762 April 2001 pages 156-158〕 The Public Transport Authority currently has plans for the crucial upgrade of the current Midland station.〔(Midland Station ) Public Transport Authority〕 The Midland Redevelopment Authority (MRA) is also advocating the relocation of the station east to be line with Cale Street, the site of the original Midland Junction station.〔(Future vision for Midland city centre unveiled ) Midland Redevelopment Authority 8 September 2014〕〔(Station move planned in Midland's future vision ) inmycommunity.com 14 October 2014〕 The MRA is also seeking an extension of the Midland line to Bellevue, which would take on a primarily park and ride function, to allow for land around Midland station to be redeveloped. There have been previous attempts to extend the line to Bellevue.〔(Hansard ) Western Australia Legislative Assembly 3 April 1996〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Midland railway station, Perth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
