Six level crossings are being removed along the Armadale Line by raising the rail over the road at Mint Street, Oats Street, Welshpool Road, Hamilton Street, Wharf Street and William Street.
New modern elevated stations are being built at Carlisle, Oats Street, Queens Park, Cannington and Beckenham while Welshpool Station will be has closed permanently.
