Late night rationalisation? It is currently only a bloody peak service!

The service is being extended to full time but will be rationalised to not run late at night. This is because of lack of patronage on the 457 currently - after hours 449.

^^ But it says first that the 449 will run the 457 times but rationalised to not run late at night. If its not mentioned now then maybe they reconsidered?

Good point. I guess there's only one way to find out for sure, and they're still not up on the website... (though to be fair it is the weekend)

By the way, the TP news item for 6/11/11 says:
Route 449 will operate additional weekday services
Route 449 will now operate on weekends
Route 449 will undergo a stand change at Warwick Station with services now departing Stand 7.
And for the 457
Route 457 will be withdrawn and predominently replaced with weeknight and weekend services on routes 447 and 449.
(emphasis added)

I'll go back and edit the actual changes when the timetables are up properly to supplement the News Desk.

Timetables now up. Can't find N81 or N82 on the timetable search at the moment, but here are the links:
N81 & N82 are now linked to, but you have to search past 6th November to find them. Here are the links anyway...

PS. There's a rather big error on the N82 in the map department at the moment, and a 'sort by time' issue in the N57.

Over all its OK but my main thing is that there should still be later Sunday services all over (every route) as well as later weeknight and Saturday night services on 449, new 428, 365 and 376.

Its good to see though some routes (Alexander drive, Wanneroo road, 344 and the 428 with latter Sunday services introduced but what about the rest of them?

Any who still a decent improvment for now and I hope more soon...

The improvements to Alexander Dr, Wanneroo Rd, the 344 and 376/377 are very much welcomed. About time Alexander Dr got an improvement aswell as the 344. So we shall expect to see far less people quering about the 344 if it goes to Alexander Heights shops or not...

Did you notice that the 60 will have improvments soon too because the 344 that leaves Morley currently at 9.40 has no connecting service?

Likewise with the 371 route, it is shown to leave at 10mins past the hour each hour on a Sunday. The 60 service connects with feeders at Morley departing at 40mins past the hour. So they probably have some type of plan to increase the 60 frequency to every 30 mins on Sundays hopefully. Very much needed.

There's some interesting on the Midline Line timetable.
On the 4am services on Saturday/Sunday mornings will skip McIver station.

btw it's spelt "later"...

Yep was about to note that, you beat me to it. But I haven't removed what I've just posted after shinjiman.

Also interesting to note that the Midland Line 4am train does NOT stop at McIver. I can probably guess the reasons too.

So additional Friday and Saturday night train services depart at 0100, 0215 and 0400. Except for Joondalup Line which is 0115, 0215 and 0400. Also interesting to note than on a Friday night/Saturday morning, there is pretty much a 24 hour service on the Joondalup Line. Every 30mins until 0015, then 0115, 0215, 0400 then 0530. Midland Line is similar also, although every 30mins till 0000, then 0100, 0215, 0400 then 0530.
