History
Leighton Station opened on and was named after Leighton's Crossing – which was named for Ann Leighton, its gatekeeper from 1881 to 1885. Along with the rest of the Fremantle line, Leighton closed on 1 September 1979 due to low passenger counts. It reopened in 1983 with the rest of the line following a change of government.During the 1980s when the Fremantle, Midland and Armadale lines were being electrified, the old North Fremantle station above Tydeman Road was replaced by a new North Fremantle station constructed north of the current one located north of Tydeman Road. This new station opened on, causing the demise of Leighton.
