# The Morley-Ellenbrook line – Perth, Australia

![The Morley-Ellenbrook line – Perth, Australia](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/perth-metronet-morley-ellenbrook-line-gettyimages_2.jpg)

**Access to the heart of the city of Perth in Australia has been sped up since the opening of the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook suburban train line on 8 December 2024, in an area of rapid population growth where car use is particularly widespread.**

## Shorter journey times and sustainability

The aim is to halve journey times from the new terminus and make mobility
carbon-free. From day one, more than 40,000 passengers have used this line of
21km and five stations.

## Four years of systems involvement

Since 2021, teams from SYSTRA Australia, then known as Rail Systems Australia,
have been working for the constructor Laing O’Rourke and the Public Transport
Authority of Perth to carry out design studies, supervision of execution and
commissioning of signalling, communication subsystems, operational engineering,
the management system (SCADA) and systems assurance.

Our Systems teams have been able to demonstrate their expertise in this area to
the great satisfaction of our clients, and our aim is to become the engineering
reference for Australia and New Zealand.

## Efficient use of digital tools

To design the systems, SYSTRA used digital engineering tools (BIM modelling,
commissioning management software, etc.) to refine the layout of the equipment
and provide the Public Transport Authority with an integrated communications
network.
