It’s just so funny to think that one week ago these stations were fully operational with trains running through constantly, then the next week it’s just gone. They’ve progressed ridiculously fast
It’s interesting to see the differences between the construction of the Perth sky rail and the Melbourne sky rail. Over here in Melbourne a large amount of construction such as putting up the pillars and stuff was actually done with trains STILL running, leading to less disruption, I wonder why Perth hasn’t opted for this approach. If you want to see what it looked up just look up “Melbourne sky rail construction with trains running” it was crazy to see trains carrying passengers through an active construction site!
They did this for most other railway upgrades. Only shutting down small sections at a time. But when it came to the Armadale line they gave us all the middle finger and shut the whole thing down
And if the Welshpool station demolition gets captured by someone whether it’s yourself or another enthusiast that’d be pretty amazing, as it would be the last moments of a station that is not being replaced or renovated caught on camera
5:26 The transmission cables that went through Oats Street went underground. Near the oats street stops on Shepperton road you can see where they go underground. Apparently the tower at Oats Street will require a road closure to be removed.
another great video :) the little shuttle bus pulls up on the far left side, on the edge of the car park from where u were standing at cannington station :)
It's kinda a shame that they just demolished everything immediately. It would've been cool to see them auction off some memorabilia like the platform markers
In the conclusion of the video I noticed that the Natural gas bus had problems. Probably I this may got to do with not just mechanics but the age. I assume that this bus had clocked 1 million KM on the odometer
I would like to what are the 7 new stations along the Armadale/ Byford line i know Byford is one i have heard a roam Tredale is coming back but where are the other 5 meant to be?
Hey I filmed the 206 ride from Carousel to Murdoch train station, but we stopped at thornlie train station and got footage from my Phone arriving and departing Thornlie station. I still need to upload it.
I think maybe the 907 could go to Victoria Park but I really really doubt a 221 artic could fit down those roads, I think Transperth wants to avoid embarrassment with drivers getting the articulated busses getting stuck on the tight corners on those small streets.

They did that for Bayswater. Building the bridge of the new station. However they had to demolish the old station.

I'm pretty sure it's happening tomorrow at some stage, if not then Monday.
@@TransportofPerth Wicked!!
Great video, love your work. One suggestion cut down on waving the camera side to side as much. Keep up the good work.

I kinda hope they keep at least one of the old dot matrix displays at the new Oats Street station
I reckon they should just replace a car lane at 0:42 instead of demolishing native bushlans
I am surprised they got rid of all the bus stops at the stations, destroying things is making new stuff takes time.
The Western Australian Transport minister is: Rita Scafforiti also 2 nicknames for her Rita Scaffolding and Rita the Concreter.
It's Saffioti...
@@TransportofPerth That's her Real name but she does have nicknames...

the 230 needs to run on weekends and be articulated during weekday peak of the peak, it also stops to much in the city.

All the rebuilt stations of the ones they destroyed.

Bruh on Saturdays some of the 206 services that terminate at Thornlie i think actually continues as 207😂😂
Oh wow that's pretty silly.
I hope they recycle as much as they can from the demolitions of the stations
Doesn't look like it... They are just straight up destroying them.
