Byford Rail Extension

Byford Rail Extension

Residents in Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area will connect to the Perth CBD on a seamless 42-minute train journey once the Byford Rail Extension is complete.

The Armadale Line will be extended approximately 8km south to a new ground-level station in Byford, supporting one of the fastest growing areas in Australia.

Armadale Station will be rebuilt as an elevated station with three nearby busy level crossings removed and replaced with elevated rail.

Other level crossings between Armadale and Byford will also be removed with alternative treatments to improve traffic flow and ease road congestion.

The project will kick-start development opportunities in the Armadale and Byford town centres, providing new and safe connections around the stations.

Preparations for the 18-month Armadale Line Shutdown in late-2023 are ramping up and will see the removal of 13 level crossings, building seven new stations and the addition of 5.5 kilometres of elevated rail across three METRONET projects. Read more about the Armadale Line Shutdown.
