Trains at Glendalough - Transperth

In this video we visit Glendalough, a station on the Joondalup Line in Perth's northern suburbs. Here we see some six-car Transperth B Series EMU's arriving and departing the station filmed shortly after 3pm... which in Transperth's eyes means it's already afternoon peak hour. While filming trains were already operating at the peak frequency with a train every 5 minutes in both directions.
Glendalough station opened on the 28th February 1993 along with several other stations on the recently completed Joondalup Line. Glenalough serves as an important interchange with bus services towards Scarborough; with the station being served by the route 990 bus which runs every 5 - 7 minutes between Glendalough and Scaroborough during the day. It's notable to the point that the passenger announcements on the train tell passengers to change at Glendalough for bus services towards Scarborough. There was even a proposal in 2004 to rename the station to Scarobough Beach, which for obvious reasons didn't get off the ground, especially considering that Scarborough is 7km away from Glendalough station.
Glendalough is also served by bus routes 15, 85, 95, 406, 407, 413, and 414. Unfortunately I didn't get to film buses here due to time constraints.

On the Hurstbridge Line as of 2018, the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna was removed by building a skyrail with a new elevated Rosanna Station, which also included track duplication between Rosanna and Heidelberg and the level crossing removal at Grange Road, Alphington by lowering the rail corridor beneath the road into a rail trench. And as of 2023, the Hurstbridge Line Duplication was completed which included around 3 kms of duplicated tracks between Greensborough and Eltham and around 1.5 kms between Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen. Around 4.5 kms of track duplication in total between Greensborough and Hurstbridge. Diamond Creek Station got upgraded and Montmorency and Greensborough Stations got completely rebuilt. Now they are planning to remove the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod by 2027 by building a skyrail over the road. Also the rail tunnel under Greensborough Highway in Watsonia will be extended a few hundred metres longer by 2028 and there will be a multi-deck car park built at Watsonia Station also by 2028 as part of the North East Link.

On the South Morang Line as of 2018, the Mernda Rail Extension from South Morang to Mernda was completed and it included 3 new stations at Middle Gorge, Hawkstowe and Mernda. Middle Gorge Station was built on ground level and Hawkstowe and Mernda Stations were built above ground with skyrail. And that train line is now called the Mernda Line. And as of 2019, the level crossing at High Street, Reservoir was removed by building a 1 km skyrail with a new elevated Reservoir Station. Then as of 2022, the 4 level crossings at Murray Road, Cramer Street, Bell Street and Oakover Road in Preston were removed by building a 2 km skyrail with 2 new elevated stations at Bell and Preston. Now under construction, is the level crossing removal at Keon Parade, Keon Park which will be removed by 2025 by building a 750 m skyrail with a new elevated Keon Park Station.

Interesting that you mentioned the headways being every 5 minutes, and the clear announcements. Far better than what we have in Chicago.

The Metro Tunnel is on track to be completed by 2025 and it will have the Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines running through it. Also it will have direct airport connection via the Melbourne Airport Rail Link by 2029. There is also the Suburban Rail Loop which is a 90 km rail line from Cheltenham to Werribee via Melbourne Airport. It’s still 3 decades away from completion, but half of it from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport will be underground with SRL driverless trains.

I’ve seen this exact comment over 5 times on different videos

Technically peak hour on the Joondalup/Mandurah lines starts around 2PM you’ll find there’s a train around every minute at Clarkson station as they empty out the depot for the evening

[@CLeungistravelling]

What a coincidence! I've also posted a video of Glendalough today 😯 But mine is at night though

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

I thought the same thing when I watched your Glendalough video 😃

[@geoffreythorburn8030]

How good the trains in Perth look? Look 100times better than the Siemens in Melbourne.
