Airport Central railway station is an underground Transperth commuter rail station at terminals one and two of Perth Airport in Western Australia. The station is located on the Airport line and is one of three stations that were built as part of the Forrestfield–Airport Link project, which consists of 8 kilometres (5 mi) of twin bored tunnels and three stations. Construction began in March 2017 following preparatory works. By January 2018, excavation was complete and in May 2018 the two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) reached the station after tunnelling from High Wycombe. The TBMs left the station tunnelling north-west the following month, and construction of the rest of the station started. As well as the station, a 280-metre (920 ft) elevated walkway was built linking the station to the airport's terminal T1. Originally planned to open in 2020, the line officially opened on 9 October 2022. The journey to Perth station takes eighteen minutes. (Full article...)
