Alkimos railway station is a suburban rail station in Alkimos, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Situated on Transperth's Yanchep line, the station consists of two side platforms within a cutting below a ground-level concourse, with a bus interchange for feeder bus services.
Since planning for the Yanchep line, originally known as the Joondalup line, began in the 1980s, it has been planned for the line to eventually be extended to Yanchep. The Yanchep Rail Extension project began in 2017 to extend the Joondalup line by three stations and 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) to Yanchep, with the first station being Alkimos. Construction on Alkimos station had begun by late 2020. Originally planned to be completed by the end of 2021, Alkimos station and the Yanchep Rail Extension opened on 14 July 2024.
Trains at Alkimos station run at up to a five-minute frequency during peak hour, lowering to a fifteen-minute frequency off-peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The journey to Perth Underground station takes 41 minutes. There are four bus routes that serve the station, which run to Butler station to the south and Eglinton station to the north.
