The train stations in Perth all had platform gaps like what you saw once upon a time. All stations once had significant horizontal and vertical gaps owing to legacy construction standards and many stations still have steep ramp access too, making them not fully accessible. There are still stations in Perth with significant horizontal and vertical gaps, but nothing like what you'll come across anywhere else in Australia or pretty much anywhere else in the world. When you return to Brisbane, pay close attention as almost all stations have platforms that are up to 30cm below the level of the train doors and many stations have horizontal gaps of over 20cm.
Awarua Street Station is so tucked away I forgot it even existed until I saw it again in this video
Yeah exactly
Just to clear up some info in this video for anyone wondering
JVL use to be part of the main trunk line before the tawa flat deviation(large tunnels on the kapti line) now ending at JV

Interesting because I've lived in the Wellington area since 1961 and never have had cause to travel on this line!
Wow lol, that's funny. I went on it the first day I'm there!
Talking about the Card: give it time. I am sure they will make Trains, Uses and Taxi compatible.
Sure for now is in the testing.
Regards.
Buses:
I’ve just been to Auckland for few days already, and the gaps are more narrower, however the cars on both ends are not accessible (generally have 3 car or 6 car sets), the middle car is a fully accessible car so the wheelies can get in or out in a more convenient way.
Yeah I was there too after this.
I saw in the chat you said there was quite a large shutdown during your visit? Did you film some train replacement buses?
Only people transferring to them on the only open line but not actually on board. I really should have gone on the replacement bus for the long line though, that's like two hours and takes some insane roads over the hills in a double-decker it would've been so cool
Since the bus routes were overhauled in 2018 the Johnsonville line is a lot less useful than it used to be.... even though buses got worse for other suburbs they got a lot better in the parts of town the Jville line serves, which might be why so few people are using it
Will we get a transport of NZ intro?
The intro is the one for the city of Wellington Line it has been for the last two Wellington videos.
@TransportofPerth, when did you go to New Zealand?
@@RobbieM-xs2ik January 17 to 26.
@@TransportofPerth nice.
bro what is your pfp
Would be great to see more trains in use. Even on the South Island between the major towns.
Flying is a problem when you have to fly via the South Island to the North Island just to travel. Sure is time-consuming.
Keeping the people moving in the right direction.
Keep up the great service.
Pretty good for a city of less than 400k
And yeah you don't get interesting lines like that in Perth. It's just flat, brown and boring.
