Cannington Train Station

Cannington is one of the major stations on the Armadale/​Thornlie line. It’s an average station which is old but reasonably maintained.
During the day, this place is busy and full of school kids. Getting a spot on the peak trains can be tough and sometimes you have to think like a sardine and squeeze on in. All perfectly acceptable.
At night, it’s a whole other ball game. Car parks are far away and at night i don’t feel at all safe walking to the car parks as they are poorly lit and completely out of site of transit guards. It’s not the best area so be vigilant and keep safe.
If you park here, make sure you have parking linked to your smart rider as the car parking machines are located right near the station which is about half a km away from the car parks. You do not want to walk all the way to the machine for a ticket and then all the way back to your car to display it on your dash.
