METRONET Byford Rail Extension

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link


Armadale and Byford are getting new stations and new public spaces as part of the METRONET Byford Rail Extension Project.

Armadale Station will be rebuilt as a new elevated station, removing three busy level crossings and creating new public space for the community to enjoy.

The new Byford Station will provide residents with access to the Armadale Line and new public space.

We want to know what you'd like to see in the public spaces and how you might use them which will help inform the designs.

    Will there be a stabling yard at Byford or will trains terminate and stable over night at Armadale

    Denis Graham asked over 3 years ago

    There's no plans for a stabling area for trains at Byford, at this stage trains will continue to stable at Claisebrook.

    wi thought the byford line was originally to be linked to the mandurah line (at kwinana) which would have made the city journey much quicker. as it is - byford to armadale through to city - i could drive my car on thomas to kwinana, take that line and be in city before this byford line gets there or thereabout

    Kofi asked over 3 years ago

    Connecting Byford to the west was considered in the long list options for the extension, however it was deemed nonviable due to the projections of where passengers will travel.

    Can we please look in to extending the rail line to Serpentine? Or at least Mundijong? It is no doubt going to happen down the track (pardon the pun), but why not extend now?

    Ramone Glasgow asked over 3 years ago

    Extending the line further south than Byford won't be part of this project, but the extension will be future proofed to allow for future extensions further south.

    Can we get a cycle path between Armadale and Byford alongside the new railway?

    Phil Gore asked over 3 years ago

    Thanks for the question. Any potential principal shared paths and connections will be considered as part of the design phase for the project.

    Will there be a road over rail or tunnel for the Abernethy Road crossing as there really needs to be with all the shops schools and traffic within that vicinity.

    Byford asked over 3 years ago

    As the new Byford Station will be north of Abernethy Road, no changes to this level crossing are proposed as part of the project.

    For residents properties that back onto the Australind train line, will they be compensated or at least a barrier be built to block out the noise & sight of a train going past every 15 minutes.

    Kadie asked over 3 years ago

    Noise and vibration impacts will be considered through the design phase, and mitigation measures will be implemented as part of the project. This may include noise barriers or other treatments.

    What will happen to the railway crossing at Eleventh Ave ?

    JandM asked over 3 years ago

    Options are still being considered for this crossing, which include either road-over-rail, rail over existing roads or closing the crossing, while factors such as safety, cost, timing and land topography will be considered.
