	Perth is the city within the best weather of Australia . No storms, No ice rains
	Amazing footage mate! Simply stellar!
	I lived in Perth for two years during my study. It's been a great experience to live there. Despite the status as the most isolated major city, Perth offers more than any city could do. Let say comfortable public transportation, white sand beaches, and beautiful sunset. Your video makes me miss Perth evenmore. Cheers mate...
	Best beaches in the whole world
	But no fun night time.very quite after 6p.m
	Ugh... recent new 'towers' are an un-complimentary jumble... As compared to Chicago... where the individuals still somehow compliment the whole and as a whole, the skyline is definitively photogenic and pleasing to most eyes.
	Lived there from 1968 to 1979, I recognized some of the buildings and London Mall, the rest is obviously new. Won't ever go back, but it was nice to see how the place looks now.
	So beautiful city, thank for the great video ;)
	Makes me miss Perth even more, thanks for this video :)

	Wow wonderful Australia even I will study in curtin university dubai and come to perth Australia
	Perth seems like a very nice place to live. I like that it's a completely modern city, yet one of the most isolated cities in the world, even within australia. I feel like an introvert would probably feel comfortable living there too.
	lovely shots and angles... makes me miss Perth so much...

	As someone watching this just about at the completion of the Ellenbrook line. And as someone who lives in Perth. It is truly the best city in the world.
	Joondalup not whatever you said and twice not two times... If people are expected to trust the information in your videos you can at least have the respect to use correct English
	Some significant updates since this video1. The line to North has now opened and renamed as the Yanchep Line adding the three new stations and 14km of track.2. The Airport Line has opened and is located in the T1/T2 terminal precinct. This Line has a terminus in Forrestfield (beyond the airport) and the other terminus is Claremont station which sits physically on the Fremantle Line. So the airport line physically uses the rail in the Fremantle and midland lines before the newer underground tracks to the airport being the actual new lines.Also, Perth airport has 4 terminals! This line is connected T1/2 but Qantas, a major airline operates their terminals on T3/4 and this is across the runway and has no dedicated station, instead one needs to catch a shuttle bus to those terminals. In better news, Qantas will be building a new terminal and shifting operations to the T1/2 side in 2031...a lot can happen between now and then though. 3. The Morley-Ellenbrook line is in full construction. Ellenbrook is a kind of satellite suburb built on the promise of transit some 20 years ago. It took a change in government to one that is transit oriented for this line to come about.4. The Alstom X'trapolis based C series rolling stock is being manufactured in Perth. The outer shell is imported, but significant aspects of the train are forged in Perth including final assembly. This included the construction of a new factory in Perth. Not something done in a city of 2M people. The first three 6-car trains are running on the Yanchep and Mandurah lines and the remaining 31 six car sets will be progressively rolled out. These trains allow for progressive retirement of the A series stock, enables the B series to then service the Fremantle, Midland and Armadale lines which in turn means transit passengers on the Mandurah/Yanchep/Ellenbrook lines will enjoy the latest in rolling stock.5. One significant item that was only a thought bubble 2 years ago when this video was released is that the entire Armadale line is currently shut and being reconstructed. Changes include 7km of viaduct to grade separate much (but not all) of the line which means rail crossings for cars are greatly reduced. This also introduces brand new stations as the old ones were demolished. Two points are that Welshpool station is retired when the line opens, and the line will be extended to Byford so we expect the line will be known as the Byford line.6. Finally, the Cockburn Thorlie link is delayed as it connects into the future Byford line at the Thornlie spur. All work at Cockburn Central station is complete...being new platform and turn points, as is the introduction of 2 extra tracks on the freeway corridor (2x for Mandurah line, 2x for the Cockburn Thornlie Link). The three new stations are under construction but timing aligned to line up with the opening of the Byford line in late 2025. Otherwise, it's a limited transit dead end.7. Main area of concern is Midland, Airport, and Morely lines all share the same 2x tracks between Perth and Bayswater station. This section will have trains every few minutes covering three destinations and will be a critical bottleneck when incidents occur.

	Back here again for the Yanchep Extension opening (15/7/2024)
	I will say that at one point, there was going to be a trackless trams running between Glendalough station on the Joondalup line and Scarborough Beach. It would’ve been Australia’s first trackless Tram but unfortunately, it was scrapped at the last minute
	2:37 the way he said "joondalup"
	I grew up in subiaco perth Australia

	june dell up thats how you say joondalup
	the Joondalup line is now extending to Yanchep which should be operating in July this year
	I would like to understand the YouTubers definition of a small city. I would consider a small city to be 50k or 100k inhabitants at a minimum and up to 250k. I would have thought that Perth was a large city by any metric.
	Adelaide is the nearest city to perth though over 2,694km.
	The way this guy says Joondalup hurts me
	One of the best parts about the renaissance of Perth's rail network is that it indirectly led to a similar revival in AucklandSee, those diesel trains shown briefly at 6:14 were only 5-20 years old when made redundant by the electrification of Perths rail network, and thus were made available on the second hand market.At the same time in the early 90s Auckland's rail network was going through a lot of the same problems that Perth's had been before its turnaround: underinvesment, aeging equipment (the coaches were from the 1930's) falling ridership, and talks of complete closure. Foruntately, the relevant government's instead scooped up the secondhand trains at basement prices from Perth in 1992 and 1993. Ridership finally started to increase after decades of decline. This began a gradual revival of Auckland's rail network:In 1995, the old post office in downtown Auckland was purchased by the government for reopening as a transit hub: this eventually came to pass in 2003 as Britomart (now Waitemata), allowing trains to actually run into Auckland CBD, and coincided with a general increase in service. At the same time, secondhand British Mk2s converted to narrow gauge used as push pull sets were used to increase capacity.In the early 2010s, service was expanded with the new service Helensville in 2008 (ultiamtely axed), Onehunga Branch reponening in 2010 and the Manukau staiton opening 2012. This all coincided with a government intiative to FINALLY electrify the Auckland Rail system (which almost happened- twice in the 1950s and 1970s, only for the National Party to say no), completed in 2015. The wires are now also set to expand down the rest of the Southern Line next year, thus making the system 100% electric.Then in 2021, the Te Huia train began, finally giving Auckland a regional train connection to Hamilton in the same way Wellington has the Capital Connection and the Wairarpara Connection. The service has expanded to have 2-3 trips everyday (except sundays), so starting to feel more a regional train than commuter train. Hopefully, the new government doesn't can the service this June. (Kinda wish they would run the service with a diesel and and an electric locomotive to allow the service to run into Britomart; would probably attract more people than running it to Strand)And of course we have CityRail Link, (which also almost happened in the 1970s), which will really turn Auckland's Rail into an S-Bahn.Now if only we could connect Auckland Rail to the airport.I love being an American who did all this research on NZ transport history, lol.Anyway, great video.
	I've lived in Perth for 10 years now. The train is on-time, fast and smooth, and usually not too crowded. The network is a bit lacking if you live directly north or north-east of the CBD. A major failing has been the long-delayed train line out to Ellenbrook. Perth really lacks any sort of spider-web connecting its suburbs without going through the CBD first. A perfect example of this is the most popular inner suburbs for restaurants and bars are Subiaco, Leederville and Mount Lawley, however these have no bus routes or train lines connecting to each other. For this reason, most people in Perth choose to drive everywhere or are kind of forced to take a taxi/Uber if they plan on drinking or going somewhere parking is an issue. The new airport line is pretty good but only for the international terminal (T1/T2) because the station for T3/T4 requires a connecting bus or a 15min (1.1km) walk outside along the road with your luggage.
	honestly, i think highway running is fine as long as you divert off the highway to serve stations. This would look like tunneling under the highway to go to a cut and cover station, then tunneling back to the highway and rising back to normal grade. This might even cost just about the same as elevating the whole thing
	Bit late to the party here, but the great thing about Perth is that whenever it is mentioned by someone outside of Australia, we all arrive by the numbers in the comments
	As a local to Perth, and having theorised my own ring rail system that has interconnects going from Thornlie, through to Midland (maybe a few auxiliary stations thrown in) then spurring to the Ellenbrook like connecting via either Bennet Springs Station or Ellenbrook Station, then connecting through to the Joondalup line, I love that my thoughts of a ring-rail system has been validated!I found your video through a wild Google regarding the new Perth rail system (something I’ve hyper focused on since delivering to some new stations being set up) and the only complaint (that has been mentioned already) is the Joon-dah-lup pronunciation, but I really hope we get a follow up video when the MetroNet Project has reached fruition.I’ve seen a couple of C Series sets on live rail today (not being tested on off-peak rail time) the most recent is the day of this comment (April 5, 2024) at 2:58pm Local Time, C Series set 6129 was live on the Mandurah-Joondalup line, and I have seen C Series set 6130 multiple times on live rail. The first time, naturally, in a burst of joy seeing the new train, wound my truck window down, waved my hat out the window and gave a honk or two of the horn. Didn’t get a honk back, but was sure glad I saw her live on rail.Please keep up the good work, you’ve got a new subscriber in me
	Only Australians can like this comment(I liked my own comment)
	I agree on the idea for a big loop line. It can transform train lines from commuter lines to work to a connected system to be used for day to day activites.
	You forgot the Byford extension :)
	I was living in Hillman at the time the Mandurah lines being planned and built. The original plan was for Rockingham station to be underground in the city centre, but when the plan for the route into the city was changed, the underground station was replaced with an at-grade station on the edge of the city. I actually got to see a lot of the construction work. We were promised a light rail link to replace the underground station, but that never happened. We were then promised a BRT, but what we got instead was a pair of disconnected bus lanes. You also mentioned the Mandurah line using the Thornlie-Cockburn link as a secondary route to the city, and you are partly correct about that. Trains won't use it to access the CBD, but will instead run to Optus Stadium during major events. That will start sometime next year IF the. Armdale/Thornlie rebuild is finished on time.
	Awesome channel and another great video. I spent 8 years living in Perth. I have never come across such a high concentration of greed, stupidity, and anti-intellectualism anywhere else. Nepotism is everywhere and the secret code to getting a job there is to put a Perth high school on your resume. Even when you are in your 40s with multiple degrees. They also cannot seem to make a pole anywhere in that city without painting it in a what I can only describe as MacDonalds Cheese Burger yellow (including inside the trains). They also seem to think building a house with double brick provides perfect insulation and is environmentally friendly. I am so happy that I do not live there any more.
	@RMTransit i think you shood come back for a look as there elovated work an the armdale line work has begun with a year long shut down of the lines
	The way you pronounce Joondalup is soo funny
	Holy Crap so much has happened since this video was uploaded. since then the the following has happened.- The Airport Line opened- Bayswater Station was demolished (Along with the bayswater bridge) and the new station is under construction. - The new C-Series cars have been under going testing on the Mandurah and Joondalup lines. - The Armadale line is closed from Victoria Park station to Armadale to make way for the removal of level crossings and the new Byford station.- the Yanchep rail extension is under going testing and will be open this year. - Lakelands station opened on the Mandurah line- The Morley-Ellenbrook line will be opened later this year.
	If Perth was in the USA, it would be the 5th largest by population and only just behind Houston... it is not small in size or population.
	It has been nearly 2 years since this video was uploaded, time flies by! It was fun to watch this video as someone from Perth. The whole METRONET project is awesome to have! It's all within the WA Government's focus to get more people using public transport given they have a really bad city sprawl problem to deal with. Anyway, quite a bit of developments have happened since you published this video.. Notably the Airport Line is now fully operational, currently serviced by 3-car B sets, and runs underground past Bayswater Station with the trains able to speed up to 130km/h. Pretty quick for underground rail, heh. Also, the big advantage our Airport Line has over Sydney/Brisbane's is that ours has remained in public ownership, thus it's fully operated by our Public Transport Authority (PTA) with the bonus of keeping fares at an extremely cheap ~A$5. The new Bayswater & Airport stations were designed to accommodate for 6-car sets, however, most old stations still only accommodate for 4-car sets so they cannot run 6-car sets just yet.There is quite a bit to say to be honest, especially for a YouTube comment... But I figured I'd mention we've made good developments since nearly 2 years ago.
	That looks great! I am Australian but never been to Perth. I think low density is just another challenge to keep in mind when building public transport, and I don't think European solutions are suitable. Europeans are shocked at the idea of walking more than 10 mins (which is good for your health!) or waiting more than 1 minute for the train, but I am happy to walk a little further or wait a little longer if that means I can keep growing fruits and veggies in my backyard. It's a different lifestyle, and I think we should have different cities to accomodate for that :)
	I’m moving to Perth in one month as someone who doesn’t drive (thankfully with a partner and roomate who do) so it’s comforting to know that I’ll still be able to live, I’ll be in Joondalup if we can find a rental, I’ve heard the line is quite nice.
	I like how 60% Of comments are Perth residents, and I’m one of them.
	I grew up in subiaco perth brfore electric trains we had diesel trains from midland down to Fremantle Australia
	I might live in perth at mt lawley at my old family home in farnley Street mt lawley perth Australia
	Hey! I have watched this channel a lot over the past few months and as a resident of Perth, I would like to say some things.First, I would just like to let you know its pronounced June-duh-lup and not june-dallup.Second, if you were to make a part 2 to this, you should include transwa and transregional services!thats all, bye!
	perth is so similar to queensland's rail
	I grew up in subiaco Western Australia Australia and lived in mt lawley and Fremantle
	They were sold off by Richard Court many years ago to private operators and operate under contract to government so are no longer owned by Transperth. The biggest mistake government ever did
	In late may early June and late July and mid august next year I be going home to perth Australia from warnbro stn to spud shed in baldivis to warnbro stn and down to Fremantle and midland also
	bro i live next to the joondalup line, and pronunciation
	In couple of years and im moving back home to perth Australia and live in Fremantle Australia and work at western Australian maritime museum hmas ovens submarine tour guide at the western Australian maritime museum in Fremantle Australia
	I grew up in subiaco perth western Australia Australia and lived in mt lawley and Fremantle Australia
	i would like to think that in future there will be a metronet 2 in which a new perth underground is built to fully accommodate the Mandurah, Joondalup, midland, Fremantle and Morley-Ellenbrook lineswith the current pert station then serving the Armadale, Airport, thornlie lines
	Do Adelaide next! It's Tram system is one of the biggest in the world!
	It’s awesome that you’re doing my states capital and yes the free transit zone is also awesome, we’ve also got buses within the ftz called cat buses or central area transit buses that do various routes within the ftz that you can just get on and off without any kind of bus pass or ticket which is really great.
	I grew up in perth subiaco Western Australia Australia
	Next year in early June and late July and mid august and im be getting baldivis 568 to warnbro stn to perth underground stn and midland line train to East Perth station
	The C series in my opinion is not a replacment for the A series, as it wll not be used on the lines that are served by the A series. The actual replacment is the B series, which the C series will operate on the Joondalup and Mandurah Line. They need to either add extra cars to some B series, or upgrade the platforms to 6 car along the Midland, Armadale/Thornlie and Fremantle lines.
	I love Perth. Best city in Australia by a mile!
	The only difficulty I find is the low frequency and unreliability of buses through the suburbs to take you to the stations. When I visit Perth I still rely on getting lifts to the train stations because the bus times can be once per hour or not turn up, They also stop running at like 5pm where my parents live which is super inconvenient if you want to head into central for dinner/drinks
	Australian cities have our problems with North American-influences in our city design, but one thing we did right was keep our UK/European-style public transport systems. Most Australian cities have above average commuter rail services and a decent bus network.
	Lived in Canning Vale in 2007 after living in London, used to take the Madurah Line from Murdoch to the CBD for work, it was a decent railway back then, although everyone I knew drove so had never used it, understandable as there's huuuuge gaps between the lines that would just be a pain for every day life, even with buses. Mandurah line was sweet though as you got this sick view of Swan River either side of you before you got into town (having lived in London, I have to call Perth a town instead of a city )
	I’m now much more grateful i live here, thank you RM
	Perth's PT is very surprising in a good way. It is really good for such a small city.
	I still dont get why you have called cities with 1-1.5 million people "big cities" but perth is a small one?

it is a very beautiful city

One of the best parts about the renaissance of Perth's rail network is that it indirectly led to a similar revival in AucklandSee, those diesel trains shown briefly at 6:14 were only 5-20 years old when made redundant by the electrification of Perths rail network, and thus were made available on the second hand market.At the same time in the early 90s Auckland's rail network was going through a lot of the same problems that Perth's had been before its turnaround: underinvesment, aeging equipment (the coaches were from the 1930's) falling ridership, and talks of complete closure. Foruntately, the relevant government's instead scooped up the secondhand trains at basement prices from Perth in 1992 and 1993. Ridership finally started to increase after decades of decline. This began a gradual revival of Auckland's rail network:In 1995, the old post office in downtown Auckland was purchased by the government for reopening as a transit hub: this eventually came to pass in 2003 as Britomart (now Waitemata), allowing trains to actually run into Auckland CBD, and coincided with a general increase in service. At the same time, secondhand British Mk2s converted to narrow gauge used as push pull sets were used to increase capacity.In the early 2010s, service was expanded with the new service Helensville in 2008 (ultiamtely axed), Onehunga Branch reponening in 2010 and the Manukau staiton opening 2012. This all coincided with a government intiative to FINALLY electrify the Auckland Rail system (which almost happened- twice in the 1950s and 1970s, only for the National Party to say no), completed in 2015. The wires are now also set to expand down the rest of the Southern Line next year, thus making the system 100% electric.Then in 2021, the Te Huia train began, finally giving Auckland a regional train connection to Hamilton in the same way Wellington has the Capital Connection and the Wairarpara Connection. The service has expanded to have 2-3 trips everyday (except sundays), so starting to feel more a regional train than commuter train. Hopefully, the new government doesn't can the service this June. (Kinda wish they would run the service with a diesel and and an electric locomotive to allow the service to run into Britomart; would probably attract more people than running it to Strand)And of course we have CityRail Link, (which also almost happened in the 1970s), which will really turn Auckland's Rail into an S-Bahn.Now if only we could connect Auckland Rail to the airport.I love being an American who did all this research on NZ transport history, lol.Anyway, great video.

I've lived in Perth for 10 years now. The train is on-time, fast and smooth, and usually not too crowded. The network is a bit lacking if you live directly north or north-east of the CBD. A major failing has been the long-delayed train line out to Ellenbrook. Perth really lacks any sort of spider-web connecting its suburbs without going through the CBD first. A perfect example of this is the most popular inner suburbs for restaurants and bars are Subiaco, Leederville and Mount Lawley, however these have no bus routes or train lines connecting to each other. For this reason, most people in Perth choose to drive everywhere or are kind of forced to take a taxi/Uber if they plan on drinking or going somewhere parking is an issue. The new airport line is pretty good but only for the international terminal (T1/T2) because the station for T3/T4 requires a connecting bus or a 15min (1.1km) walk outside along the road with your luggage.

honestly, i think highway running is fine as long as you divert off the highway to serve stations. This would look like tunneling under the highway to go to a cut and cover station, then tunneling back to the highway and rising back to normal grade. This might even cost just about the same as elevating the whole thing

Bit late to the party here, but the great thing about Perth is that whenever it is mentioned by someone outside of Australia, we all arrive by the numbers in the comments

As a local to Perth, and having theorised my own ring rail system that has interconnects going from Thornlie, through to Midland (maybe a few auxiliary stations thrown in) then spurring to the Ellenbrook like connecting via either Bennet Springs Station or Ellenbrook Station, then connecting through to the Joondalup line, I love that my thoughts of a ring-rail system has been validated!I found your video through a wild Google regarding the new Perth rail system (something I’ve hyper focused on since delivering to some new stations being set up) and the only complaint (that has been mentioned already) is the Joon-dah-lup pronunciation, but I really hope we get a follow up video when the MetroNet Project has reached fruition.I’ve seen a couple of C Series sets on live rail today (not being tested on off-peak rail time) the most recent is the day of this comment (April 5, 2024) at 2:58pm Local Time, C Series set 6129 was live on the Mandurah-Joondalup line, and I have seen C Series set 6130 multiple times on live rail. The first time, naturally, in a burst of joy seeing the new train, wound my truck window down, waved my hat out the window and gave a honk or two of the horn. Didn’t get a honk back, but was sure glad I saw her live on rail.Please keep up the good work, you’ve got a new subscriber in me

Only Australians can like this comment(I liked my own comment)

I agree on the idea for a big loop line. It can transform train lines from commuter lines to work to a connected system to be used for day to day activites.

You forgot the Byford extension :)

I was living in Hillman at the time the Mandurah lines being planned and built. The original plan was for Rockingham station to be underground in the city centre, but when the plan for the route into the city was changed, the underground station was replaced with an at-grade station on the edge of the city. I actually got to see a lot of the construction work. We were promised a light rail link to replace the underground station, but that never happened. We were then promised a BRT, but what we got instead was a pair of disconnected bus lanes. You also mentioned the Mandurah line using the Thornlie-Cockburn link as a secondary route to the city, and you are partly correct about that. Trains won't use it to access the CBD, but will instead run to Optus Stadium during major events. That will start sometime next year IF the. Armdale/Thornlie rebuild is finished on time.

Awesome channel and another great video. I spent 8 years living in Perth. I have never come across such a high concentration of greed, stupidity, and anti-intellectualism anywhere else. Nepotism is everywhere and the secret code to getting a job there is to put a Perth high school on your resume. Even when you are in your 40s with multiple degrees. They also cannot seem to make a pole anywhere in that city without painting it in a what I can only describe as MacDonalds Cheese Burger yellow (including inside the trains). They also seem to think building a house with double brick provides perfect insulation and is environmentally friendly. I am so happy that I do not live there any more.

@RMTransit i think you shood come back for a look as there elovated work an the armdale line work has begun with a year long shut down of the lines

The way you pronounce Joondalup is soo funny

Holy Crap so much has happened since this video was uploaded. since then the the following has happened.- The Airport Line opened- Bayswater Station was demolished (Along with the bayswater bridge) and the new station is under construction. - The new C-Series cars have been under going testing on the Mandurah and Joondalup lines. - The Armadale line is closed from Victoria Park station to Armadale to make way for the removal of level crossings and the new Byford station.- the Yanchep rail extension is under going testing and will be open this year. - Lakelands station opened on the Mandurah line- The Morley-Ellenbrook line will be opened later this year.

If Perth was in the USA, it would be the 5th largest by population and only just behind Houston... it is not small in size or population.

It has been nearly 2 years since this video was uploaded, time flies by! It was fun to watch this video as someone from Perth. The whole METRONET project is awesome to have! It's all within the WA Government's focus to get more people using public transport given they have a really bad city sprawl problem to deal with. Anyway, quite a bit of developments have happened since you published this video.. Notably the Airport Line is now fully operational, currently** serviced by 3-car B sets, and runs underground past Bayswater Station with the trains able to speed up to 130km/h. Pretty quick for underground rail, heh. Also, the big advantage our Airport Line has over Sydney/Brisbane's is that ours has remained in public ownership, thus it's fully operated by our Public Transport Authority (PTA) with the bonus of keeping fares at an extremely cheap ~A$5.** The new Bayswater & Airport stations were designed to accommodate for 6-car sets, however, most old stations still only accommodate for 4-car sets so they cannot run 6-car sets just yet.There is quite a bit to say to be honest, especially for a YouTube comment... But I figured I'd mention we've made good developments since nearly 2 years ago.

That looks great! I am Australian but never been to Perth. I think low density is just another challenge to keep in mind when building public transport, and I don't think European solutions are suitable. Europeans are shocked at the idea of walking more than 10 mins (which is good for your health!) or waiting more than 1 minute for the train, but I am happy to walk a little further or wait a little longer if that means I can keep growing fruits and veggies in my backyard. It's a different lifestyle, and I think we should have different cities to accomodate for that :)

I’m moving to Perth in one month as someone who doesn’t drive (thankfully with a partner and roomate who do) so it’s comforting to know that I’ll still be able to live, I’ll be in Joondalup if we can find a rental, I’ve heard the line is quite nice.

I like how 60% Of comments are Perth residents, and I’m one of them.

I grew up in subiaco perth brfore electric trains we had diesel trains from midland down to Fremantle Australia

I might live in perth at mt lawley at my old family home in farnley Street mt lawley perth Australia

Hey! I have watched this channel a lot over the past few months and as a resident of Perth, I would like to say some things.First, I would just like to let you know its pronounced June-duh-lup and not june-dallup.Second, if you were to make a part 2 to this, you should include transwa and transregional services!thats all, bye!

perth is so similar to queensland's rail

I grew up in subiaco Western Australia Australia and lived in mt lawley and Fremantle

They were sold off by Richard Court many years ago to private operators and operate under contract to government so are no longer owned by Transperth. The biggest mistake government ever did

In late may early June and late July and mid august next year I be going home to perth Australia from warnbro stn to spud shed in baldivis to warnbro stn and down to Fremantle and midland also

bro i live next to the joondalup line, and pronunciation

In couple of years and im moving back home to perth Australia and live in Fremantle Australia and work at western Australian maritime museum hmas ovens submarine tour guide at the western Australian maritime museum in Fremantle Australia

I grew up in subiaco perth western Australia Australia and lived in mt lawley and Fremantle Australia

i would like to think that in future there will be a metronet 2 in which a new perth underground is built to fully accommodate the Mandurah, Joondalup, midland, Fremantle and Morley-Ellenbrook lineswith the current pert station then serving the Armadale, Airport, thornlie lines

Do Adelaide next! It's Tram system is one of the biggest in the world!

It’s awesome that you’re doing my states capital and yes the free transit zone is also awesome, we’ve also got buses within the ftz called cat buses or central area transit buses that do various routes within the ftz that you can just get on and off without any kind of bus pass or ticket which is really great.

I grew up in perth subiaco Western Australia Australia

Next year in early June and late July and mid august and im be getting baldivis 568 to warnbro stn to perth underground stn and midland line train to East Perth station

The C series in my opinion is not a replacment for the A series, as it wll not be used on the lines that are served by the A series. The actual replacment is the B series, which the C series will operate on the Joondalup and Mandurah Line. They need to either add extra cars to some B series, or upgrade the platforms to 6 car along the Midland, Armadale/Thornlie and Fremantle lines.

I love Perth. Best city in Australia by a mile!

The only difficulty I find is the low frequency and unreliability of buses through the suburbs to take you to the stations. When I visit Perth I still rely on getting lifts to the train stations because the bus times can be once per hour or not turn up, They also stop running at like 5pm where my parents live which is super inconvenient if you want to head into central for dinner/drinks

Australian cities have our problems with North American-influences in our city design, but one thing we did right was keep our UK/European-style public transport systems. Most Australian cities have above average commuter rail services and a decent bus network.

Lived in Canning Vale in 2007 after living in London, used to take the Madurah Line from Murdoch to the CBD for work, it was a decent railway back then, although everyone I knew drove so had never used it, understandable as there's huuuuge gaps between the lines that would just be a pain for every day life, even with buses. Mandurah line was sweet though as you got this sick view of Swan River either side of you before you got into town (having lived in London, I have to call Perth a town instead of a city )

I’m now much more grateful i live here, thank you RM

Perth's PT is very surprising in a good way. It is really good for such a small city.

I still dont get why you have called cities with 1-1.5 million people "big cities" but perth is a small one?
