Thornlie Station (Good News Story)

I have another serious post or two coming up, but in the meantime, here is a good news story with a couple of happy snaps.

They are 'before' and 'after' shots of Thornlie Station, the terminus of a new branch line off the Armadale Line (Perth).

It was built and opened in a short time with little fuss, and expands rail catchment to the booming south-east suburbs, as well as helping to relieve the busy Armadale line (opening day press release)

Before: 3 April 2004. Note land clearance has just started.



After: 27 August 2005. A couple of weeks after services commenced.


Both photos were taken from more-or-less the same location.

See, it's not that hard!
