Location
Location of Oats Street station

Oats Street railway station is a Transperth suburban railway station in Western Australia, located in the Perth suburbs of Carlisle and East Victoria Park. The station is served by the Armadale and Thornlie–Cockburn lines.

Oats Street station opened on 28 November 1954, because the introduction of diesel railcars made it possible to build stations closer together. The station consisted of two side platforms north of the Oats Street level crossing. The CircleRoute bus began operating in 1998, allowing access to Curtin University from the Armadale line. A bus interchange was constructed soon thereafter, and Oats Street soon became one of the most important stations on the Armadale line.

The Thornlie line opened in 2005, with Oats Street station being one of the few transfer stations between the two lines, further increasing its importance. On 20 November 2023, the station closed to allow for the railway to be elevated and for Oats Street station to be rebuilt as an elevated station, as part of the Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal Project. The new station straddles Oats Street and features an expanded bus interchange. It is opened in June 2025.

The Armadale and Thornlie lines each have a 15-minute frequency, reducing to every 30 minutes at night. Bus routes from Oats Street station go to Airport Central station, Kalamunda bus station, Curtin University, Belmont, and Kewdale.
