Elevated rail, new stations, level crossing removals, the extension of the line to Byford and Perth's first east-west cross line connection are set to completely transform travel along the Armadale Line.
The 130-year-old train line is set to be transformed through three significant METRONET projects: Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal, the connection of the new Thornlie-Cockburn Link to the Mandurah and Thornlie lines, and Byford Rail Extension.
To enable work on these major projects, the Armadale and Thornlie lines will shut from Monday, 20 November 2023.
Trains will continue operating between Victoria Park and Perth stations during the shutdown (excluding the first three days), including Stadium Station on weekends, public holidays and event days.
Seven new and five enhanced bus routes will be introduced to the bus network during the shutdown to support existing timetabled services.
Visit the Transperth website for more information on affected services and enhanced bus routes.
To prepare for the shutdown, works on three new bus interchanges, construction of 1.2 km of bus priority lanes, and road modifications along Albany Highway, Welshpool and Shepperton Roads are under way.
