Elevate and Celebrate: Byford Train Station Opening

Sunday 12th October 2025


To mark the reopening of the Armadale Line, the launch of passenger services on the new Byford Rail Extension, and the official opening of Long Park, METRONET is hosting Elevate and Celebrate – a free, family-friendly event on Sunday 12 October from 10am to 3pm.

There’ll be two event zones one at Byford Station and another along Long Park between Oats Street and Carlisle station.

Expect live entertainment, free kids’ activities, amusement rides, market stalls, food trucks, and plenty of giveaways.

The new elevated Armadale Station will also be buzzing with community stalls, children’s entertainment, and food trucks. Join the celebrations at either end of the now even longer Armadale Line!

Special event trains will be running throughout the day, and if you’ve got a SmartRider, train travel is free on Sundays just tag on and off as usual.
