The Transperth train system consists of eight lines: the Airport, Armadale, Ellenbrook, Fremantle, Mandurah, Midland, Thornlie, and Yanchep lines. These lines all meet at Perth station and Perth Underground (used by the Yanchep and Mandurah lines) in the city's CBD, radiating out from there.
The line goes between Mandurah railway station and Perth railway station, continuing north from there as the Yanchep line. Mandurah line trains stop at the station every 10 minutes during peak on weekdays, and every 15 minutes during the day outside peak every day of the year except Christmas Day. At night, trains are half-hourly, or hourly.
