A ride on Perth's Airport Line; Perth - High Wycombe on a B Series EMU

In this video we take a ride on Perth's new Airport Line from Perth Station to the terminus of the line at High Wycombe on a Transperth B Series EMU. The new Airport Line opened on the 9th October 2022 and is Perth's first new railway line since the Mandurah Line opened in 2007. It is the first major rail extension completed under Perth's ambitious Metronet scheme to drastically expand the Perth railway network. Built at a cost of $1.86 billion the 8.5km line branches off the Midland Line at Bayswater station and largely consists of underground twin bored tunnels serving three new stations at Redcliffe, Airport Central, and High Wycombe.

In normal operation Airport Line services operate between High Wycombe and Claremont via Perth station, with trains operating every 12 minutes during peak hours, every 15 minutes during the day, and every 30 minutes during the evening. Within the twin bored tunnels trains reach their top speed of 130km/h, with a journey time of 22 minutes from Perth to High Wycombe.
