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.
