The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will be Perth’s first east-west cross line connection, making travel around the city by train more flexible and providing a higher level of public transport service to Perth’s south-eastern suburbs.
The 17.5 kilometre project includes new stations at Nicholson and Ranford roads, changes to Thornlie, Cockburn Central and Stadium stations and relocating 11 kilometres of freight railway.
Three kilometres of rail tracks have been removed from the existing rail corridor between Cockburn Central Station and Glen Iris Tunnel. More than five kilometres of new rail tracks were laid and overhead equipment installed during the Mandurah Line Shutdown (26 December 2021 - 14 January 2022).
Works continue to steam ahead on this major transport infrastructure improvement project.
