Mortlake and Richmond railway stations celebrated 180 years of service with community events attended by local organizations, councillors, commuters and railway representatives. Festivities included train-themed performances, historic photograph displays and speeches, while pupils from Thomson House School unveiled a mural at Mortlake station. Daniel Opoku, a station ticket office team leader, was recognized for his service to the community, and further celebrations took place at Richmond station. Both stations officially opened in July 1846.
