READ NOW“We’ve planned this latest series of works on Perth Stadium Station to coincide with the quietest time on the Transperth network; the post-Christmas period, during school and university holidays, and outside AFL season,” Mr Hynes said.
“Works to complete Stadium Station and the Victoria Park stow roads, which will enable up to 28,000 passengers to leave the Perth Stadium within an hour of an event, cannot occur without the disruption.
“Due to the complexity of the track works, and the need for trains to switch to a different set of tracks, Armadale Line passengers will need to change trains when they pass through Carlisle Station, and the Mint Street level crossing will close for the duration.”
People are being asked to leave extra time and prepare for delays as trains will be limited and the journey takes longer.
