The METRONET Byford Rail Extension extended the Armadale Line from Armadale to Byford, giving residents of Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area a strong transport connection that supports economic growth and access to jobs, services and amenities.
The project included:
- Extending the Armadale Line approximately 8 km south to a new ground-level station in Byford, serving one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia
- Rebuilding Armadale Station as an elevated station, with three nearby busy level crossings removed and replaced with elevated rail
- Removing other level crossings between Armadale and Byford to improve traffic flow
- A new Principal Shared Path from Armadale to Byford supporting active transport
- Bus interchanges and parking at Armadale and Byford stations
Aurum’s role
Aurum Engineering provided electrical engineering support to the MetCONNX Alliance for Armadale and Byford stations, as well as line-wide components enabling electrification and integration between the rail corridor and the station precincts. Construction was completed in December 2025.
