[edit] History

Murdoch Train Station is currently under construction as part of the New MetroRail Southern Suburbs Railway project. Once operational, it will replace Murdoch Park 'n' Ride, the current bus-only facility at the same location.

[edit] Connections

Bus transfers will be available on the concourse level. The bus station will be on a bridge structure extending over the freeway carriageways and train station.^[1] Traffic signals at both ends of the bridge have been modified to include a bus phase.

[edit] Bus Priority Measures

Several measures have been implemented or proposed to provide priority for feeder buses servicing Murdoch Train Station:

Lengthening of the sliplane used by buses entering the station from the west (complete).
Bus lanes on South Street in peak hours extending east to Roe Highway (effective 6 June 2006).^[2]
Murdoch Transit Link, a bus transitway linking the train station with the Fiona Stanley Hospital, Challenger TAFE and Murdoch University (proposed).^[3]
