The METRONET Forrestfield-Airport Link was completed in 2022, with the Airport Line opening on Sunday 9 October, delivering a new rail service to the airport and eastern suburbs of Perth – with three new stations at Redcliffe, Airport Central and High Wycombe.
The Airport Line spurs off the existing Midland Line near Bayswater Station and runs to High Wycombe through twin-bored tunnels.
As well as providing a 20-minute train journey between the city and the eastern suburbs, the project has made access to Perth Airport quicker, easier and more affordable for locals and visitors.
This project is also a catalyst for significant residential and commercial development in the precincts around the three new stations, creating opportunities for local businesses and communities.
