It’s full steam ahead leading up to the opening of the Thornlie-Cockburn Line. Transperth’s train drivers are in the middle of driver training to operate trains on the new line.

We’re excited to see a fully electric concrete truck make its debut on the METRONET Byford Rail Extension Project - a first for Western Australia’s metro infrastructure projects.

Save the date: we’re opening the Thornlie-Cockburn Line! Perth’s rail network is expanding once again and to celebrate the opening of the new METRONET Thornlie-Cockburn Line, a community event will be held on Sunday, 8 June from 8.30am - 1pm.

Perth’s first east-west cross line connection will open on Monday 9 June, with passenger services providing a direct route from the Mandurah Line to Optus Stadium for the first time.
