The TransWA Australind train service, which travels from Perth to Bunbury via the Harvey Region towns of Yarloop, Cookernup, Harvey and Brunswick, is set to formally resume from Monday, 29 June 2026.
The service will reconnect Perth and Bunbury, with four new Australind trains set to provide passengers a more comfortable and convenient journey to and from the Harvey Region and South West.
The new Australind trains will be reintroduced in stages, with the first train entering service from 29 June, and the remaining three trains to follow over the coming months.
Some coach services will operate until the second train comes online.
The four three-car trains represent a significant upgrade to the older fleet, replacing the previous railcars which started services in 1987.
The new Australind trains feature contemporary interiors with LED lighting, in-seat USB-C charging, improved accessibility, an onboard buffet and dedicated storage for 14 bicycles per train.
Each of the new Australind trains will also feature unique Aboriginal artwork by a local Indigenous artist, celebrating the culture and connection of the South West and ensuring each train has its own distinctive identity.
