The Morley-Ellenbrook Line is set to open on Sunday, 8 December 2024, and will formally be known as the Ellenbrook Line upon opening.
The new line will halve the public transport journey time for passengers travelling between Ellenbrook and the CBD.
Approximately 21km of new rail line has been constructed and will travel from Ellenbrook’s growing town centre, down the western side of Drumpellier Drive, through land north of Marshall Road and down the middle of Tonkin Highway, connecting at Bayswater Station on the Midland Line.
All stations on the line are now complete, with finishing project works underway. The line will start at Bayswater Station, with new stations being built at Ellenbrook, Whiteman Park, Ballajura (formerly Malaga), Noranda and Morley. A future station is planned at Bennett Springs East as development progresses in the area.
The new Drumpellier/Gnangara intersection has been operational since January 2024, and includes a tunnel for the Morley-Ellenbrook line.
