I guess if you are on the new Morley + Ellenbrook line and you are going to the airport with a bit of luggage, it is going to be easiest to just ride 1 stop further to Meltham and then walk over the platform and get the airport line from there, especially as it is only an extra 60 seconds. Unfortunately if they ever decide to quad track this line into the city you will lose that ability though!
This may not work if they operate the Ellenbrook line like Melbourne's Williamtown/Alamein lines running only to connecting station with other line, it would be crazy having a train every 5 minuets all hours between Bayswater and the city
@@paulwilliams73 I thought they were talking about Quad-Tracking the line into the City from Bayswater to keep them operationally separate? Regardless: You could theoretically run trains every 2min or 2.5min with upgraded signalling, giving each branch a train every 6-8 minutes.
@@paulwilliams73 population really doesnt have anything to do with it, its about how useful your Line is and what types of journeys you are covering. Smaller cities all over the place from Nuremberg to Luzern and across Asia run frequencies like that for smaller catchments. Perth used its rail network as a backbone with feeder buses so frequent Metro-Style trains are very effective.
Is it weird I was expecting more inner city scenery? Must be because it is either freight which is along the countryside or that's just where the lines are built.
it is kinda of a odd area where you have a large industrial area broken up with Tonkin Hwy (freeway/motorway) running through the middle This train line dates back to 1881

Hey. Are you going to do the cab ride on the new ellenbrook line?
Great footage!

@@BigBlueMan118 Perth don't have a population to justify such a very high frequency

Is this 1067 / 1435mm dual gauge for the interstate?
Correct

Perth is just a very low density city in general
it is kinda of a odd area where you have a large industrial area broken up with Tonkin Hwy (freeway/motorway) running through the middle
This train line dates back to 1881
they still look like soulless, characterless elevated Bus shelters
No they’re way better than the old one
WELL THAT SUCKED.
