www.standard.co.ukSouth Western Railway in Western Australia has been undergoing significant upgrade work on the Armadale Line, with the Australind service currently suspended and expected to resume on 29 June 2026 with new rolling stock. Passengers should check the SWRWA or government transit updates for the latest timetable details and any temporary service changes.[5]
Key context:
- The Australind passenger service is the main long-distance option on the line beyond Byford, and its suspension has limited options for travel between Perth and Bunbury during the upgrade.[5]
- Resumption with new rolling stock is planned for late June 2026, but final start times and any revised schedules can shift, so real-time advisories are important.[5]
If you’d like, I can monitor current updates and deliver a concise alert when service resumes or if there are further postponements.[5]
