The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will be Perth’s first east-west cross line connection, providing communities between the Mandurah and Armadale lines with more travel choices.

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will commence passenger services on Monday, 9 June 2025. A community event will be held on Sunday, 8 June.

Information regarding related rail and bus services will be available in the near future via Transperth.

The 17.5 kilometre project includes new stations at Nicholson Road and Ranford Road. Both new stations will feature parking, bus interchanges, passenger amenities and cycling facilities.

Upgrades are also underway on the existing Thornlie, Cockburn Central and Stadium stations. Thornlie Station will be upgraded to a through station, and Cockburn Central Station will be extended to provide passenger interchange to the Mandurah Line.

The Cameron Street and Elliot Place pedestrian level crossing will be replaced for a safer and better connected shared path network.

The Armadale/Thornlie Line is shut between Victoria Park and Armadale/Thornlie stations until mid-2025 to enable these works.
