Shutdown notification has concluded.

Have you planned ahead for the Thornlie-Cockburn Link disruption?

Mandurah Line Shutdown, 26 December 2021 to 14 January 2022

As part of essential works to prepare for the future Thornlie-Cockburn Link, there will be major disruptions to the Mandurah Line from 26 December 2021 to 14 January 2022 (Frequently Asked Questions).

During this time;

  • Trains will not operate between Aubin Grove and Elizabeth Quay stations
  • Trains will run on a reduced schedule between Mandurah and Aubin Grove stations

Transport agencies have been working together to minimise the impact of the shutdown and we ask that you prepare by knowing your travel options and staying informed.

If you travel on the Mandurah Line please plan ahead and consider alternative work and travel arrangements.

What is happening?

The shutdown is required to shift the Mandurah Line tracks further apart to enable the new Thornlie-Cockburn Link tracks to be built between them.

A number of options were assessed to get this essential work done. Undertaking the work during December-January (Christmas and New Year period) is the quietest time on roads and on public transport and is considered the safest and most cost-effective option.

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link will be Perth’s first east-west cross line connection, making travel around the city by train more flexible and providing a higher level of public transport service to Perth’s south-eastern suburbs.

The 17.5-kilometre project includes new stations at Nicholson and Ranford roads, changes to Thornlie, Cockburn Central and Stadium stations and relocating 11 kilometres of freight railway.
