later that year, as did the adjacent Challis station. Sherwood was originally named Kingsley station after the nearby Kingsley Primary School. It was renamed on 27 July 1989 to avoid confusion with Kingsley in the northern suburbs of Perth. The name "Sherwood" comes from a nearby housing estate developed in the early 20th century. In 1982–83, shelters were built at the station. Services Sherwood station is served by Armadale line services operated by Transperth Train Operations, a division of the PTA. The line goes between Perth station and Armadale station. Armadale line services reach seven trains per hour during peak, dropping to four trains per hour between peaks. At night, there are two trains per hour, dropping to one train per hour in the early hours of the morning. Apart from at night and on Sundays/public holidays, most train services follow the "C" stopping pattern, which skips Burswood, Victoria Park, Carlisle, Welshpool and Queens Park stations. There are also two "B" stopping pattern services which run during the afternoon Armadale-bound. Those services are the same as the "C" pattern except they stop at Queens Park. Starting at night, trains stop at all stations. On Sundays and public holidays, half of all trains are "C" pattern trains and half are all stops trains. On Railway Avenue is a pair of bus stops for route 907, the rail replacement bus service. In the 2013–14 financial year, Sherwood station had 136,158 boardings. The City of Armadale rezoned nearby land for higher densities in the late 2010s, with the goal of increasing patronage.
