Thanks for uploading this. :) I used to travel from Rockingham to Joondalup in 2016 when I went to Joondalup TAFE. Never got tired of it honestly. If I could go back to Perth now, I'd do that trip all over again.
I went to Bunnings You're welcome! It is a good trip. Fast and reliable. I'm not sure why Perth people bag out public transport here. It's actually pretty good.
I agree. I've lived in Sydney (my birth city), Perth and Brisbane, and Perth definitely has the edge on reliable public transport, aswell as clean trains and buses and the least amount of delays. I can absolutely not say the same thing about Brisbane's public transport, which gets a lot of extremely undeserved praise IMO.
You'll never know how good it is until you live in a city with crap, unreliable and unbearable public transport, and I say that from experience. Although I don't live in Perth anymore (I live in Brisbane now), I gloat about the TransPerth network all the time. It's fast, sufficient, the timetable is excellent providing passengers on every line with plenty of services during the day (even more in peak), it's cheap and, more importantly, it's clean; you feel clean catching the train or bus. Not to mention that connections between transport modes works very well in Perth; bus services to any train station are aligned with the next train service to that station. Brisbane's public transport on the other hand ... yeah, we won't go there, for the sake of my own sanity. Besides, this is a Perth video. Of course everyone will brag about how good it is. 😛
@@paulwilliams73 Oh wow, you may have seen me around a few times then, as I did some work at Shorncliffe earlier this year, and I used to have to catch the train from Narangba (Although now I have my P's, so I never catch the train anymore).
the wilsons I asked a railcar driver friend of mine about that and he says it's for South Perth station, which was supposed to be built in that location but never was.
I've never noticed that before! I wonder why they never built it - it's the PERFECT place for a station, even if it only catered to people going to the zoo lol
@@TassieDinkum90 There are a number of planned stations along the Perth to Mandurah line that will be built when demand is sufficient. South Perth is one of them. Aubin Grove Station was added recently, about 10 years after the completion of the line. Other planned stations are at Mandogalup and Lakelands.
F.nord As far as I'm aware they don't stop normally. They slow right down as that area is where there is an electrical 'neutral section', which is there to divide different areas of the overhead power supply. They slow down in those areas as they are not able to have power applied while they pass through them.
It used to stop at a red light there a fair bit was a not in service train I used to watch and take pics from up top of kings park maybe it doesn't do it anymore
RingLordSonic If you live in Perth and you're over 18, you should apply for a job as a driver with the PTA. With all the new Metronet lines being built soon, they're going to need lots of new drivers.
Just can't stop watching this video, seeing a drivers eye view like this in such a short time is amazing. Excellent video 👌
CharltonTransport Thanks very much!

Sure. I'm working on getting that one recorded soon.
Nice vid, thanks for posting
93min trip now just a 9.3min trip, I know perth has a great public transport system but you don't have to gloat about it

I know first hand Bunnings as I to from Perth AND now in Brisbane (up on the Shorncliffe line) but if you did not know my comment was sarcastic

what is the name of the first song - it is really good
Love the footage. Are you going to do a similar to the Armadale/Thornlie Lines be awesome
Michael Tunbridge Sure am. I can't give you a time frame, as it really depends on how often my railcar driver mate sends me footage.
Will we get the alternate departure from the other platform?
Always wanted to see what it looks like from the front.
I agree it cheep to go on trains in Perth I been on few to Perth and to mt lawley and back to canning bridge stn
I think that area between Elizabeth quay and canning bridge were the track moves away is and old station
the wilsons

Needs extending south of Mandurah...
Do you know why the trains stop just before narrows after Elizabeth quay

It used to stop at a red light there a fair bit was a not in service train I used to watch and take pics from up top of kings park maybe it doesn't do it anymore
it would stop at a red light cause it would be ahead of scheduled and it has to wait for the other train at Elizabeth quay to go ahead
How long is the trip from Butler to Mandurah?
backstabberkilla Roughly an hour and a half.
@@BennettBrookRailway Same as the ancient, old-fashioned, and out-of-date 90-minute cassette tapes that nobody uses no more.
Well I live near Thornlie lol
High speed! Have a giraffe; the only thing speeded is the movie, a car doing those speeds in Western Australia would get fines!!
My dream job 😭 I want
RingLordSonic If you live in Perth and you're over 18, you should apply for a job as a driver with the PTA. With all the new Metronet lines being built soon, they're going to need lots of new drivers.
Honetly I have been subscribed to the daily PTA job postings for a little while but I haven't seem them listed yet!
I would strongly suggest staying subscribed. My friend at the PTA informs me that they will need at least 60 new drivers before 2020.
Zuuuuuf
