The vision of the former freight corridor accommodating both freight and passenger services is becoming a reality in Jandakot, Canning Vale and Thornlie.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Around 22 kilometres of passenger track is now in place and is being adjusted around the clock to prepare for test trains in the new year.<\/p>\n

This, in addition to the duplicated track between Thornlie and Beckenham and the track along the corridor within the Kwinana Freeway, forms the new Thornlie-Cockburn<\/a> Link. Altogether, around 35 kilometres of new passenger rail has been built for the project.<\/p>\n

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will be Perth\u2019s first east-west cross line connection, making travel more flexible while providing a higher level of public transport service to Perth\u2019s south-eastern suburbs.<\/p>\n

Connecting the Mandurah and Armadale-Thornlie lines will open new opportunities for longer-term developments around the new\u00a0Nicholson Road<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ranford Road<\/a>\u00a0stations.<\/p>\n

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will support growth and accessibility across the south-eastern suburbs by providing direct access to employment and recreation opportunities while supporting about 1,680 jobs through the new stations and upgrades to the existing\u00a0Thornlie<\/a>,\u00a0Cockburn Central<\/a>\u00a0and Stadium stations.<\/p>\n

The Armadale\/Thornlie Line is shut between Victoria Park and Armadale\/Thornlie stations until mid-2025 to enable these works.<\/p>\n
