Situated in the Kwinana Freeway median, and within the Canning Highway interchange, it also features integrated bus services at the adjoining Canning Bridge bus station. It is served by the inter-urban Mandurah line, with services to both the Perth CBD and the neighbouring city of Mandurah. Canning Bridge Railway Station transit interchange is operating beyond its design capacity and requires upgrading to improve bus connections and pedestrian access.〔()〕 ==History== The station was originally constructed as a bus transfer station, enabling passengers to transfer between bus routes using Kwinana Freeway and those serving Canning Highway. During construction of the Mandurah Railway, the freeway-level bus platforms were removed and converted to rail platforms. To make room for the rail corridor, the 120 metre long, 1800 tonne Canning Highway bus bridge was moved 9.5 metres southwest by pulling the bridge sideways over Teflon mats. This was a more economical alternative to constructing a completely new bridge. The move did not disrupt ongoing traffic on the Kwinana Freeway. Along with the rest of the Mandurah Line, Canning Bridge has been quite successful in attracting passengers; Minister of Planning and Infrastructure Alannah MacTiernan noted that Canning Bridge was 154% above projected ridership forecasts, a feat she claimed proved that "it is surely time for the Opposition transport spokesperson to note that he got it wrong," referencing the reluctance to re-align the Mandurah Line to parallel the Kwinana Freeway.〔(Rail Horizons ) ''Railway Technical Society of Australasia'' Retrieved 2009-02-01〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canning Bridge railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
