Images are ok, with captions and proper licensing. No copyvio issues.

Before I read it more carefully, let's look at sourcing spot-checks:
 * [1] this is a blog post, what evidence is there it's reliable? If this is the same data as from [2], I'd recommend just using [2].
 * [2] This is ok, I verified the 244,650 figure.
 * [3] this just redirects to https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/ - I recommend a more precise link, maybe https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/stop/1008/armadale-station/0/train/ ?
 * [5] no mention of platform numbers
 * [6] no mention of "multiple steep access ramps". The article says "There is no car-parking available at the station.", but the source has a tick by "Parking Available". No mention of "assisted access".
 * [8] dead link
 * [9] ok
 * [10] this is a blog post, no mention of a ramp, or Metro Trains 7-car HCMT.
 * [13] no mention of a new platform canopy.
 * [16] broken link, also looks suspicious
 * [17] unclear what the corridor is, which the article mentions

Given the large fraction of sources which don't seem to support the text, and that GA1 for this article also had concerns that sourcing is not of sufficient quality, I'm sorry but I'm going to quickfail this one under WP:GAFAIL, mostly #1, but also partially #5, given it's still a long way from being "Verifiable with no original research". Feel free to put this article up for nomination again, but only after sourcing issues have been corrected. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
