Around 7,500 people came together on Sunday, 21 April to celebrate the completion of the new Bayswater Station – and what a celebration it was.

The METRONET Bayswater Station Street Festival kicked off at 11am as the new station became a hive of activity and colour with live music, rides, face painting, showbags, a tree give-away, METRONET prize wheel and delicious food for all.

The second largest train station outside the Perth CBD, the Bayswater Station has been an incredibly complex rail infrastructure project and included:

• demolition of the iconic Bayswater Bridge
• construction of an elevated four-platform station and bridges in a constrained space
• construction of a turnback facility within an operational corridor (live overhead power and train movements)
• connection of three separate train lines into one
• a new bus interchange, car park, bike parking, five public open spaces and 10 tenancy spaces.

Bayswater Station is now servicing the Midland and Airport Lines, with the future Morley- Ellenbrook Line due to commence services later this year.

Thank you, Baysie for helping celebrate this major milestone.
