Western Australia opens Aubin Grove station

Aubin Grove station was opened to public service, after a USD 54 million investment for its modernisation, the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia announced.
The station is situated on Transperth network, on the Mandurah line, 24.3 km from Perth station.
There are expected to be about 3,900 boardings each day at the new station, located between the Cockburn Central and Kwinana stations on the Mandurah Line.
The station, made from locally fabricated steel, also features 2,000 parking bays, bike facilities, six bus feeder services for local residents, a kiosk, toilets, lifts, stairs and escalators.
The combined cost of the Aubin Grove road and rail project is USD 93.7 million. Two three-car train sets have been delivered as part of the project and are already operating on the Transperth network.
“The new station was built while the Mandurah Line was largely still operational. This project represents a feat of engineering, with the station largely constructed off-site and then sections craned into place over the last 18 months,” Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.
