The Forrestfield-Airport Link project will deliver a new rail service to the eastern suburbs of Perth – with three new stations at Redcliffe, Airport Central and High Wycombe.
The Airport Line will spur off the existing Midland Line near Bayswater Station and run to High Wycombe through twin-bored tunnels.
Construction is well advanced and, once operational in 2022, the line will make access to Perth Airport quicker, easier and more affordable for residents and visitors alike.
