History
A station at Ranford Road, referred to during planning as Canning Vale station, was first proposed as part of the planned Armadale line branch route of the Mandurah line.[5]: 45 This station was ultimately not constructed as the final route was altered to a different alignment.[6]: viii
Construction of the station started in 2020,[3] with the station opening on 8 June 2025.[7]
At the 2021–22 State Budget, it was announced that the Thornlie–Cockburn link had been deferred by 12 months, as a result of Western Australia's skills shortage. This was alongside the deferment of 15 other state government infrastructure projects. The revised opening date was late 2024.[8][9][10] In August 2022, it was announced that the Thornlie–Cockburn link had been delayed until mid-2025.[11] In March 2025, it was announced that the station would open on 8 June 2025.[12]
