Morley-Ellenbrook Line connection
An intensive period of work for the Morley-Ellenbrook line project will take place from Thursday 28 March to Monday 8 April to reposition a section of the Midland Line onto its final alignment and undertake milestone works to connect the new Morley Ellenbrook Line into the New Bayswater Station. While disruptive, these critical works can only be safely completed when passenger trains are not operating. The line closure and 24/7 works will also allow works to be undertaken as quickly as possible.
