Good info. The state makes enormous mineral profits and the right government is in place already. Not a lot to stop this happening if the will is there. We've seen significant infrastructure projects already being undertaken under the Labour state government, so maybe this light rail might go ahead, especially since someone had the foresight to instal a proto-railbed....

Take a few points from the bus and train group - post your timetable at all stops ... Especially at your Whiteman Park Station stop. People need to know when your trams are running. Its not enough to expect old folk to check your website as they often don't have such technology.

As others have said, this probably isn't the highest priority for tram connection. However, I think in Perth we could carve out a significant niche for having trams serving railway lines, given how large of a city we are and the distances between train lines. We desperately need more connections, so how about a tram that connects Perth Stadium to the Airport? Central Perth to the hospitals? Even connections like Armadale-Cockburn or Midland-Ellenbrook that would never happen with heavy rail, but which would probably be good candidates. I would LOVE to see a 'Sunset Coast' tram which runs from South Fremantle up to Hillarys

Glad to see this project finally open! As a former West Aussie it makes me so proud to see how much expansion has and is taking place on the Transperth rail network!! I saw you guys had trams running at the open day on Sunday. Is there any plan to commence regular services to the Whitman Park Station in the near future? (I may have easily missed any announcements from you guys about it given I now live interstate) I’m looking forward to coming over in a few weeks to see it for myself!

I could see in the future a heavy rail extension to two rocks

Is it true this railway on Bottom is standard gauge? It was built by the Federal authorities (Defence). Anyone know,?

Our transport minister, unfortunately, does not like trams. She is unfit for the job.

The trackless tram idea is probably the way to go. A line to Scarborough beach via the city and north Perth, freo to Murdoch and canning bridge to Murdoch via Booragoon would work well. Plus changing all the cat buses to trackless trams and upping their frequency and extending the routes to inner suburbs would take heaps of traffic off the roads. IMHO.

Nihan ❤😂🎉

I recently mapped out where Perth used to have tramways and OH MY GOD I WANT THEM BACK. You could get so far on them, and trams are just really really cool. I think they’d be a very good middle ground between heavy rail and bus services, particularly for high-demand corridors. Cool video :)

Just a quick correction. In our video it is incorrectly stated that the Perth Electric Tramways Limited commenced operating trams on September the 29th 1899 however it was actually September the 28th of that year trams commenced operating.

G'day to you,Love the Idea,they are so much more than Public Transport. Armadale West Aust.

Check out the archived Metro Area Express website here web.archive.org/web/20140108115726/max.wa.gov.au/index-2.html

what street was that

Any word on if we are still reopening this weekend? Or not yet?

That was a sudden stop :O

You can really see a lot at 130k an hour!

So looking forward to coming back to WA and seeing this for myself when it’s up and running!

Will you still be able to ride a bicycle or push a pram over the tracks near the triangle like before, or is all raised now?

I can't wait to ride the new section!

Any update yet?

Bottom line there should be light rail running from every single station. This will remove cars and allow people to take what is a solid transport link from Mandurah through the city then north. Think of a classic fish bone design. The central spine being heavy rail , and the small bones being a light rail that services the wider community. It could be a figure of 8 design that services the east and the west with a central terminus under or above the heavy rail station. No brainer really and would open up better transport links.

It was always an election ploy and never a real proposal as I was on some of the working groups at a local government level and early in the project only one depot site was identified this site was for sale and a cabinet report recommended that the site be purchased for the depot. It was rejected by the cabinet. It was sold to an apartment developer and an apartment was built there. This was the only viable depot site identified. I’m addition in multiple other locations private Land was required for stops. Again no action was taken to secure any land for these stops. So 20 Million was spent on a business case just to deceive people it was going to be built. Shame as if it was built we would have had numerous extensions since.

Fantastic to see. Great work. Can't wait to finally visit your museum one day and go for a ride. I really miss the H types

Would like to see Light Rail linked to Morley Station

Be interesting to find out any new information about metronet 2.0. Connecting the Fremantle line to the airport line would be an immense benefit

I applied to volunteer to drive one of these, I haven't heard back in a few weeks unfortunately.

Can’t wait to see more of these trams in action 👏🏻

i enjoy this series. where are those steel sleepers at 0:48 from?

Great video! It's really interesting to know that a small portion of the old lord street branch is going to be left over

Excellent images and information. Thank you!

Can't wait for this new line to open. Will have to take a ride to get my bearings about where the stations are. I'll be glad when the Armadale line reopens so I can just catch the train again instead of sitting in traffic. Yeah I know there are buses but I prefer the train.

I've been going to the Friday workshop nights and I must say it's a lot of fun! You meet some interesting people and it's really neat learning how these 100 year old trams work

if it does happen, then for heavens sake take care with the rolling stock & construction contracts to ensure proper track laying, no chassis cracks in the trams and don't keep changing the specs.

Extending Yanchep Line to Two Rocks is much more straightforward than building the light rail

1:44 "four and a half thousand" meanwhile: 4,5000

It be good have trams in perth city and in city of Fremantle Australia

Nice vid, I didn’t know this

I would love to visit. Hoping to come over to the west in 2025, pending my poor health.

why not just build a single track extention of the metronet to two rocks?

This route wouldn't even be in the top 20 if light rail or trams were considered for a transit route in Perth. Yanchep/Two Rocks is decades from needing any mid-tier transit. Core metro movement patterns should be addressed first. Things like the Fremantle to Airport corridor which has 3 highways choking with traffic (circa 150,000 vpd across the three corridors) and not one decent transit option along any of it yet. A light rail along Leach Highway or Canning Highway between Freo and the Airport would do wonders for promoting density in well located areas, connect people to key metro destinations and allows for high levels of transit integration across existing lines. The ability to use existing road reservations to achieve these links only further enhances such an idea.

forget about light rail for yanchep. buses far more effective. if you're doing any light rail then you need to look at travelling large numbers of people over a distance. For example Perth Stadium to Perth. Curtin Uni to Fremantle... Perth to Gnangara... Perth to Kings park and UWA/hospital... Perth to Airport... (sorry too late its got heavy rail). Also, look at utilising heavy rail for trams in areas of heavy road traffic and insufficient space. But locations like Rockingham Yanchep have no chance. Even Scarborough is unlikely.

The problem with Rockingham light rail is that you then have other key areas of Rockingham neglected. Is it better to just have buses servicing Rockingham? I think so. Light rail only becomes attractive if it can utilise existing heavy rail tracks to move further distances from Rockingham quickly avoiding congestion. Otherwise, surely buses are preferable. Investment would be better placed tunnelling to redirect heavy rail into Rockingham central than heavy investment into light rail. Makes no sense.

Trams or light rail only make sense as feeders to the side, just keep extending the main line in the direction is is going as the population grows.
