The METRONET Byford Rail Extension project has delivered a brand-new train station in Byford, a new elevated station in Armadale, and removed nine pedestrian and road-level crossings.

The major upgrades have improved connection to the public transport system with a seamless 46-minute train journey from Byford Station to the CBD.
