History
The original Byford station was opened as Beenup in May 1893. It was renamed in April 1920.
It was also the terminus for selected services from Perth, and location of sidings to the State Brickworks and Naval Ordinance Depot.
The station was staffed between 1912 and 1965, apart from a brief period of closure between 1916 and 1919. The station was demolished in the late 1980s.Evident from the images found at In the late 1990s, a new station was built approximately south of Abernethy Road.

The new station includes parking for approximately 400 cars, a new bus interchange and a pedestrian connection across the rail line.

The line's temporary closure to the end of 2025 was to allow works for a level crossing removal project and extension of electrification to Byford; the existing Byford station was permanently closed and replaced with the new station which opened on 12 October 2025. Australind services resumed in June 2026 and use a dedicated platform at the new Byford station.
