The Forrestfield-Airport Link project has delivered a new rail service to the eastern suburbs of Perth - with three new stations at Redcliffe, Airport Central and High Wycombe.

The Airport Line, as it is now known after launching on 9 October 2022, spurs off the existing Midland Line near Bayswater Station and runs to High Wycombe through twin-bored tunnels.

The line makes access to Perth Airport quicker, easier and more affordable for residents and visitors alike.

The full Transperth timetable is available here
