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 southern suburbs.
Connecting the Mandurah and Armadale/Thornlie lines will open new opportunities for longer-term developments around the future Nicholson Road and Ranford Road stations.
In December 2019 the NEWest Alliance was formed to deliver the Thornlie-Cockburn Link. Early works and detailed design are underway, with main construction work expected to start in mid-2020.
