Service
Cockburn Central is on the Mandurah Line of the Transperth Trains network, a hybrid metro-commuter rail system with five lines in metropolitan Perth. As such, it receives trains northbound to central Perth and southbound to the suburbs of Mandurah and Rockingham. Four stopping patterns serve Cockburn Central station: all stations, C, K, and W which terminates at this station.[1]
In the inbound direction, all stations, K-, and W-pattern trains take about 19 minutes, averaging 64.7 km/h (40.2 mph), to arrive at Perth.[1] C-pattern trains stop at all stations except Canning Bridge heading to Perth, taking 18 minutes at an average of 68.3 km/h (42.4 mph).[1]
In the outbound direction, an all stations train takes about 32 minutes, averaging 93.0 km/h (57.8 mph), to arrive at Mandurah.[1] C-pattern trains operate locally to Mandurah apart from skipping Canning Bridge; this has no effect for passengers departing Cockburn Central for any southbound stations. K-pattern trains operate skip Kwinana and Wellard on their way to Rockingham, taking 15 minutes at an average of 90.8 km/h (56.4 mph). W-pattern trains terminate at Cockburn.[1]
Station layout
Cockburn Central uses a simple island platform layout with two tracks. Platform 1 is used by trains bound for Perth underground station (these trains generally continue onto the Joondalup Line) whilst platform 2 is used by trains heading south towards Mandurah. Access to the station is provided by a pedestrian overpass connecting a busway with the western end of Knock Place. A concourse containing faregates lies above the platform and beyond these gates there is a pair of escalators and lifts heading down to the platform located in the central reservation of the Kwinana Freeway (
).[2] To the south of the station is a siding where terminating trains are parked. These sidings reamian empty on weekends, when the W pattern does not operate.Stop No. Platform Line Stopping Pattern Destination Notes [2820] Cockburn Central Station platforms 99661 1 Mandurah All stations, C, K, W Perth underground Shuttle weekdays only, terminus of Shuttle 99662 2 Mandurah All stations, K Mandurah K pattern terminates at Rockingham Bus routes
