Choosing Your Train Chariot: A Line-by-Line Lowdown
Perth boasts a train network worthy of a thumbs-up emoji. Here's the intel on how each line gets you to cheering glory:
The Armadale Line: This dependable fella zooms straight into Perth Stadium Station, perfect for those coming from the south-eastern suburbs. Just find Platform 5/6 and you're golden.
The Fremantle Line (Weekend Warrior Special): Listen up, weekend warriors! For big bashes, special event trains might take you straight to the stadium from the Fremantle line. Score! If not, a regular train to Perth Station and a quick hop on a Stadium shuttle bus will sort you out.
The Joondalup Line: Calling all northern supporters! You can snag a train to Perth Stadium Station from the western concourse. Trains here usually zip to Leederville first, then make all the stops to Butler. Easy!
The "Get Me There Somehow" Line (a.k.a. Other Lines): Don't fret if your usual line isn't mentioned. Most lines connect to Perth Station, where you can snag a trusty Stadium shuttle bus to the stadium.

Fuel up for the win: Train rides are a great chance to grab a sneaky snack or coffee – you don't want your pre-game excitement to be fuelled by hanger.
High-five your fellow fans: Trains are a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow sports (or music) fanatics. Chat about the game, bond over team colours, and maybe even swap snack recommendations.
