List of Transperth stations

Construction of the infrastructure for the service began on 14 November 1989. It opened between Perth station and Joondalup station on 20 December 1992, albeit with only Perth, Leederville, Edgewater and Joondalup stations operational. The remaining stations began operating on 21 March 1993 and the line was completed to Currambine on 8 August 1993. The service has been extended beyond the original terminus several times since, with the current extension to Yanchep scheduled to be completed by early 2024.

Trains take 38 minutes to get from Perth Underground station to Butler station. The service is the second busiest on the Transperth network, with 14,045,991 boardings in the 2022–23 financial year. Headways are at least every 15 minutes during the day, rising to every 5 minutes on parts during peak time. Trains through-run south beyond Perth Underground and Elizabeth Quay as the Mandurah line.
