I'm really liking the new system map. I think it will definitely encourage multimodal use of the network as it can visualise connections. Though I am a bit confused with how some bus routes connect and others don't (e.g. they could have easily shown 510 which connects to Booragoon Directly, or even the 100/101 that connects to Curtin). Maybe they're just showing high-frequency/circle routes?
They are definitely not just showing high frequency, weirdly they have the 307 and 355 on there which are weekday only routes, yet they don't have like the 277/278 which is a very important connection between Midland and High Wycombe, nor the 100/101 as you said, very poor decisions as to which routes to put on.
a while ago a train at cockburn couldn't open any of the doors on the second set, so everybody had to get out of the train through the driver cab and wait for the next train. i think there were like one or two trains waiting behind it. just shows how faulty the doors on the b series are
I am sure thats not the only problem door they've had but yes you are lucky to be there when it happens. Are you not right 130kph line that's 110km long.
Yeah I know it's happened more often, I've seen that sticker on trains numerous times, but this is the first time I've seen it happen. It is 110km long but only a few parts of it have 130km/h speed, much less on the Joondalup Line than the Mandurah Line.
@@TransportofPerth thanks. Being the newer line of would of thought the Joondalup line would of been the fastest. But I am guessing that Mandurah would have longer new sections.
@@TransportofPerth Rotflmo Joondalup was brand new "built" when I was living in Heathridge. Please excuse my age and lack of knowledge. I left Perth in 2000
Similar things happened b4 in HK on East Rail Line, but why there are no staffs on the platform helping? It shld help a bit if there were ppl on the platform trying to close it manually Wonder anyone tried to exit from the broken door, as idk why people never read signs...
None of the staff even knew about this until I pressed the emergency button and told the driver, he just kept pressing "doors closing" despite it not working like 10 times. Once he finally knew, three drivers came in and cut the power to the door so they could close it manually. One of them then sat there until Aubin Grove (the last station where the right door is needed), telling people not to get on, cause yeah they actually didn't read and we had to tell them. I don't know what happened on the return trip though (might have even ran express), really should have just taken the train into the Mandurah depot but I guess that would have just caused more delays then.
Yes, one of the major problems is its poor traction in wet weather. The whole units start to shake, especially when they are three-cars, and sometimes even miss stations because of the poor braking.
@Transport of Perth I remember being on a B series during the rain a few weeks back and there were several traction issues leaving Canning Bridge and Bull Creek (especially). Could feel the wheels slipping lol
It feels weird how the trains operate smoothly for a long time, and then out of nowhere something crazy happens.
I love seeing that little sticker barely holding on from the outside lol
Nice video!

we are having similar problems with our NGR units in Brisbane

The driver that showed you his cab-view videos, is it Benett Brook Railways?
BBR Dosent film hus videos
Dam, you got to press the emergency button. Cool
Yes!
0:35, In Singapore, this dude will be fined $5000 for doing that in our trains.
Who? Doing what? Nothing happened there, but so many worse things happen on our network everyday, especially on the Armadale Line.
@@TransportofPerthi think they meant the guy with his legs on the seat
What Happened?
No idea the door just randomly stopped working it was working at the previous stations along the Joondalup Line.
@@TransportofPerth OK...
I think That’s why it caused delays
Obviously...
Is it me or are the b series slightly more faulty?

Never seen that before! THIS IS KWI- 🍌
