Off for a ride on the new Austalind service this morning! The Austalind runs between Perth and Bunbury (around 165km). Although it shares the name of a town near Bunbury, the Austalind does not service Australind. In November 2023, the service was suspended indefinitely due to major trackwork on the suburban Armidale line (along which The Australind runs) and the condition of the existing ADP/ADQ rolling stock (only 2 of the 5 cars were in a serviceable condition). In June 2026, new ADR/ADS railcars were introduced and the service partially reinstated. The full timetable is two return services, 7 days per week, but currently a limited service is running with one return service, 4 days per week.
