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 full Transperth timetable is available here.

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

Benefits

Provide a viable alternative to car travel between the eastern suburbs and Perth
Encourage domestic and international tourism with improved access between Perth Airport and the city
Create additional rail capacity on the Midland Line in the inner suburbs of Perth
Revitalisation of the local community with improved land use planning
