The new machines are apparently on track to be installed by mid-year When will these be installed across the Transperth network? The deployment of the new machines will take place in a phased manner following the successful pilot phase. The rollout of these machines is expected to commence and be co...

Looks like it links to the first airport service of the day. It arrives at Perth Busport at 5:03 and the first Airport line train leaves Perth station at 5:12.

There's some vague wording there for the 282 about "Changes to the frequency and operating hours of the service." With any luck that means the Lesmurdie area might get a better service at night, and on weekends (esp. Sundays!). The new timetable is now up. https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au...

While not linked to anywhere on the Transperth website (save for trawling through the search function), access maps for each station are now available: Redcliffe Station Airport Central Station High Wycombe Station Interestingly, just like on the consultation maps, route 37 from Airport Central to ...

There's some bus detail on the Transperth website

The project website has been subtly changed in the last two weeks.

They'll never have a better opportunity to get rid of all of the level crossings on the Armadale line

Anomalies like that (short journeys being more expensive than some longer ones - CircleRoute being a prominent example) are what the Government should've targeted with their reforms instead of chucking untold sums of money at a cheap fares regime. I assume there will be more ticketing reform when t...

No - The notice stipulates this is a fare cap, and users will still be required to purchase the requisite ticket (up to 9 zones) to complete their journey. This is of course done automatically on SmartRider transactions. It would be pretty ridiculous if people were fined for using a two zone ticket...

The inner stations from Bayswater on will be served by both the Airport and regular Midland services. I'm not sure what the practical distinction would be between it being a spur and a line of its own.

A lot of words but the main points are that the last station on the line will be called High Wycombe and the line will be the Airport Line Joint media statement - Community names new METRONET station High Wycombe Friday, 26 June 2020 The votes are in and more than three quarters of respondents have ...

Is this on the same spot as the old Midland Junction station?

Few additional points trains will be terminating at Bayswater station passengers will have to transfer to a Midland/Forrestfield service to continue into Perth this is going to be extremely dysfunctional, the proposed Henley Brook station has been removed making the new park and ride facility basic...

Any idea how Victoria Park will be serviced from the stadium?

4000 people still on the waiting list, might be waiting a while.

Perth Airport was privatised with the all the other main airports in Australia around that time. It is not government owned or operated.

It is government owned, however the operator has a long-term lease.

The 15 minute summer frequency should also make the ferry more attractive to tourists. Another thing to note is that ferries will operate to the summer timetable in September rather than the winter timetable. I don't know why they reduce the frequency so drastically from June to August given that f...

Something that hasn't been mentioned in this thread - and purely a historical diversion with no particular relevance to today - is that Perth railway station was actually named City for quite a while. I think this dated from the construction of Perth Terminal in 1969. Presumably this was to avoid c...

Saw a "380" with "930" on the destination board tonight.

It would help if you had a chance of getting a taxi or some other form of transport at the train station.

Apparently theres a major Armadale/Thornlie complete closure 2nd to 20th December? have Transperth been taking planning lessons from Adelaide Metro?? :evil: :evil: :evil: What work would need such a major shutdown? Or is it just a typo? Nothing on the Transwa site to indicate the Australind is effe...

A lot of people from the Mt Lawley catchment go to Maylands because of the poor peak service.

They don't make stations like Meltham any more...

The stop after Newcastle St should be enough...
