Service
Murdoch is on the Mandurah Line of the Transperth Trains network, a hybrid metro-commuter rail system with six lines in metropolitan Perth. As such, it receives trains northbound to central Perth and southbound to Mandurah and Rockingham. Four stopping patterns serve Murdoch station: all stations, C, K, and W. In effect, Murdoch is served by all trains on the Mandurah Line.
In the inbound direction, all stations, K-, and W-pattern trains take about 15 minutes, averaging 55.2 km/h (34.3 mph), to arrive at Perth. C-pattern trains stop at all stations except Canning Bridge heading to Perth, taking 14 minutes at an average of 59.1 km/h (36.7 mph).
In the outbound direction, an all stations train takes about 32 minutes, averaging 105.6 km/h (65.6 mph), to arrive at Mandurah. C-pattern trains operate locally to Mandurah apart from skipping Canning Bridge; this has no effect for passengers departing Murdoch for any southbound stations. K-pattern trains operate locally to Cockburn Central and then run express to Rockingham, taking 19 minutes to do so at an average of 92.8 km/h (57.7 mph). W-pattern trains stop at all stations and terminate at Cockburn Central, taking 12 minutes averaging 80.4 km/h (50.0 mph).

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“It’s 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?”
—Public Service Announcement.
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
