Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.
The featured article for Sunday, 9 October 2022 is Daglish railway station.
Daglish railway station (officially Daglish Station) is a commuter railway station on the boundary of Daglish and Subiaco, suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. Opened on 14 July 1924, the station was named after Henry Daglish, who was a mayor of Subiaco, a member for the electoral district of Subiaco, and a premier of Western Australia in the 1900s. Daglish was a resident of Subiaco for 22 years before he died in 1920. The station consists of an island platform accessed by a pedestrian underpass. There are two small buildings on the platform which operated as a parcels office and ticket office up until 1970. The station is only partially accessible due to a steep access ramp and lack of tactile paving.
Daglish station is on the Fremantle line, which is part of the Transperth public transport network. Services run every 10 minutes during peak hour and every 15 minutes outside peak hour and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. Upon the Airport line's opening, Fremantle line and Airport line services will run every 12 minutes during peak hour, for a combined frequency of a train every 6 minutes. The journey to Perth station is 4.9 kilometres (3.0 mi) and takes 7 minutes. Starting on 10 October 2022, Airport line services will operate as well, increasing the frequency of trains stopping at the station.
