New Bayswater Station New station project

Approximately 1.8km of track will be laid to realign the Midland Line and facilitate the connection of the future Morley-Ellenbrook Line, as well as new turnback infrastructure between Bayswater and Meltham stations. 

Other works include: 

- Removal of all current Overhead Line Equipment, signalling equipment and 1km of track.

- Demolition of the old Bayswater bridge and train station.

- Completion of the Leake St pedestrian underpass upgrade.

- Piling works for the viaduct structure.

Trains will be cancelled on the Midland Line between Midland and Perth stations, and on the Airport Line between High Wycombe and Perth Stations from first service Friday 31 March until first service on Wednesday 26 April 2023.

Replacement bus services will be available.

The privately owned Indian Pacific trans-Australia train, and Transwa's Prospector, AvonLink and MerredinLink services, will all terminate at Midland during the shutdown.

The old Baysie Bridge will be removed during the shutdown using a mechanical demolition process.

The bridge will be removed by heavy machinery in sections.

Crews will be working 24/7 to complete major rail and station works. Noise, vibration and traffic impacts will be managed in accordance with approved plans.

Some temporary road and pedestrian pathway closures are also expected. Works will be updated on the METRONET website.

Bayswater’s new elevated southern platform and station area will open in September 2023 and will service the Midland and Airport lines. 

The project continues to face materials supply issues and labour shortages which have impacted the construction schedule for the platform and station.

Details of how this scheme will operate are available via Transperth.
