Fuck the bogans, I don't want to share a train with those hicks either.
In fact I think all the bogans from the Armadale-Thornlie-Cannington corridoor should take the bus so that I don't have to sit next to them when I take the train.

Those Scania DABs as in the second pic have been gone from the CATs for a while. Volgren Merc O500LEs have replaced them, they are the same as what Transperth is replacing the normal route fleet with.

Tsk tsk tsk Transperth, you might be doing a heck of a lot for public transportation in Perth, but you really need to hire someone to correct your grammar!

Where to now I wonder- Perhaps some small extensions- Byford- Swan View.
Or what about Bunbury Interurban?
I did hear somewhere that they reserved some land for a possible future extension to Bunbury.
Cost wise I assume a single track with a few passing loops at Stations would be sufficient.
Dare I say perhaps not even Electric to cut costs ect.
I see where in Germany they run these Hybred Railcars- They run Electric under the wires and then Diesel where the overhead stops.

ONWARD TO BUNBURY--- THEN BUSSTETON-- THEN FLINDERS BAY--
TRAINS USED TO GO EVEN THERE WAY BACK.

The government announced a while ago that it would be the armadale extension to Butler.

Lol... Armadale line extension to Butler would be massive... I think you mean Byford

Homeroids · November 29th, 2007, 02:24 AM

I've heard rumblings about a spur link to Curtin University area.

A cross-suburban line from Bayswater to Fremantle via Perth Airport, Belmont, Oats St, Curtin Uni and Booragoon would be cool. Any chance of that happening?

chrisaus · November 29th, 2007, 09:59 AM

the only real spur lines with the free land to do it is thornlie to probably cockburn central

Bullswool · November 29th, 2007, 10:13 AM

yes but that can be extended to Fremantle too, using the existing freight lines.

Bullswool · November 29th, 2007, 10:18 AM

Start from Esplanade --> Perth Underground --> Leederville.

***Svartmetall*** · November 29th, 2007, 11:19 AM

Thanks for the movie, the underground segment looks great!

Bullswool · November 29th, 2007, 01:22 PM

yeah thats most of it, pitty you couldt see esplanade at the start from the drivers cab.

tuckerbox · November 30th, 2007, 12:39 AM

Just wondering what the max speed is through those curves in the tunnel-- anybody know?
