'''Railways in Perth''', the capital city of [[Western Australia]], have existed since 1881, when the [[Eastern Railway (Western Australia)|Eastern Railway]] was opened between [[Fremantle]] and [[Guildford, Western Australia|Guildford]]. Today, Perth has seven [[Transperth]] commuter rail lines and 75 stations.
The Transperth network is owned and operated by the WA [[Public Transport Authority (Western Australia)|Public Transport Authority]] (PTA) and consists of seven lines: the [[Airport line, Perth|Airport]], [[Armadale line|Armadale]], [[Fremantle line|Fremantle]], [[Joondalup line|Joondalup]], [[Mandurah line|Mandurah]], [[Midland line, Perth|Midland]], and [[Thornlie line|Thornlie]] lines. Perth's trains had 53.2 million boardings in the 2022–23 financial year, giving the Transperth rail network the third highest patronage out of [[List of urban rail systems in Australia|Australia's suburban rail networks]], ahead of Brisbane.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Queensland Rail |date=20 September 2023 |title=Queensland Rail Annual and Financial Report FY2022-2023, Page 40 |url=https://www.queenslandrail.com.au/about%20us/Documents/Queensland%20Rail%20Annual%20and%20Financial%20Report%202022-23.pdf |access-date=26 October 2023 |website=Queensland Rail}}</ref> Under construction is the [[Morley–Ellenbrook line]] and the [[Thornlie–Cockburn link]].

==History==
The [[Eastern Railway (Western Australia)|Eastern Railway]] was the first railway to be constructed in the Perth metropolitan area. It travelled from [[Fremantle]] to [[Guildford, Western Australia|Guildford]] via Perth and opened in 1881.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}} It was first proposed in 1871 following the success of railways in [[Sydney]] and [[Melbourne]].<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History">{{cite web |last1=Bizzaca |first1=Kristy |title=City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework |url=https://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/CityofSubiaco/media/City-of-Subiaco/Planning-and-development/Heritage-buildings-and-places/Subiaco-Thematic-History-Framework_1.pdf |website=City of Subiaco |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200319045110/https://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/CityofSubiaco/media/City-of-Subiaco/Planning-and-development/Heritage-buildings-and-places/Subiaco-Thematic-History-Framework_1.pdf |archive-date=19 March 2020 |page=11 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1874, two possible routes were suggested: one traveling north of the [[Swan River (Western Australia)|Swan River]] via Perth and one travelling south of the river with a branch line to Perth.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}}<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History"/> The Department of Works and Railways was formed in 1877.<ref name="PTA history" /> The northern route was chosen in July 1878, and the contract for the construction of the railway was awarded to [[John Robb (civil engineer)|John Robb]] at a cost of £74,591/19/5 later that year.<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History"/> Governor [[Harry Ord]] turned the [[Sod turning|first sod]] on 3 June 1879, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of British settlement of Western Australia.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}}<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65954725 |title=The Jubilee |newspaper=The Inquirer And Commercial News |date=4 June 1879 |access-date=18 December 2022 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
The railway was operable as far east as [[Perth railway station|Perth station]] by 9 October 1880 and on 1 March 1881, the railway was officially opened between Fremantle and Guildford by Governor [[William C. F. Robinson|William Robinson]].{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}} The initial timetable was five trains per day from Fremantle, two terminating at Perth and three terminating at Guildford. There was a severe shortage of rolling stock, and so the trains operated simultaneously as passenger and goods trains.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=11}} A contract was awarded to J. W. Wright for £53,043 for the extension of the line to [[Chidlow, Western Australia|Chidlow]]. This extension opened to traffic on 11 March 1884.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=13}} Suburban trains terminated at Guildford still.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=73}}
The railway was initially just [[Single-track railway|single tracked]] with the only [[passing loop]] being at Perth. Another passing loop was built at [[Claremont, Western Australia|Claremont]] in 1885,{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=11}} and soon after, sidings were built at Guildford.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=14}} In 1886, [[Belmont railway line, Western Australia|a branch line]] opened in [[Bayswater, Western Australia|Bayswater]] to the Swan River foreshore near [[Ascot Racecourse (Western Australia)|Ascot Racecourse]] (known then as Perth Racecourse).{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=14}}
The [[South Western Railway, Western Australia|South Western Railway]] between Perth and [[Bunbury, Western Australia|Bunbury]] opened on 2 May 1893.<ref name="PTA history" />{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=21}}
On 21 February 1896, a {{convert|20|km|adj=on}} new route for the Eastern Railway between [[Midland, Western Australia|Midland Junction]] and [[Mount Helena, Western Australia|Mount Helena]] via [[Swan View, Western Australia|Swan View]] opened. It had a lower gradient than the first route and upon opening, it became the main line with the old route being relegated. The maximum grade of the new route was 1:40 whereas the maximum grade of the old route was 1:29. The new route featured the [[Swan View Tunnel]], the first rail tunnel in Western Australia.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=22}}
Suburban trains on the Eastern Railway were extended to [[Midland Junction railway station|Midland Junction]] when the [[Midland Railway Workshops]] opened in 1904/5. By 1906, suburban trains ran as far as [[Bellevue railway station, Perth|Bellevue]] on the Eastern Railway and as far as [[Maddington railway station|Maddington]] on the South Western Railway.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=73}} Kelmscott and Armadale were considered country towns and were served by the less frequent trains to Bunbury.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=75}}
18 [[WAGR ADG class]] railcars were added to the network in 1954, marking the first time that diesel trains were used for suburban services.<ref name="PTA history">{{cite web |title=Our history |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/about-us/our-role/our-history |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=1 July 2023}}</ref>{{sfnm|1a1=Higham|1y=2007|1p=87|2a1=Wombwell|2y=1991|2p=16}} As they had a higher acceleration, more closely spaced stations were able to be built,{{sfn|Wombwell|1991|p=16}} and so on 28 November 1954, seven new stations opened: [[Ashfield railway station, Perth|Ashfield station]] on the Midland line; [[Grant Street railway station|Grant Street]], [[Loch Street railway station|Loch Street]] and [[Victoria Street railway station, Perth|Victoria Street]] stations on the Fremantle line; and [[Beckenham railway station|Beckenham]] (known then as Higham), [[Oats Street railway station|Oats Street]] and Stokely stations on the Armadale line.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=87}}<ref name=":0">{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59698258 |title=New Timetables For Suburbans |newspaper=The Sunday Times |date=21 November 1954 |access-date=1 April 2022 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52966996 |title=Advertising |newspaper=The West Australian |date=27 November 1954 |access-date=1 April 2022 |page=22 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Headways at this time were 20 minutes on the Fremantle and Midland lines and 40 minutes on the Armadale line.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=75}} The introduction of diesel railcars reduced the time to get to Perth from Fremantle, Bellevue or Armadale, and resulted in an increase in patronage. In 1953–54, there were 7.8 million boardings, which increased to 13.8 million five years later. This increase was only temporary though, with patronage dropping below 10 million per year in 1964 due to the widespread adoption of cars.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=87}} By 5 October 1968, suburban services were fully operated by diesel railcars for the first time.<ref name="PTA history" />
===Decline===
Until the 1950s, the urban development of Perth closely followed the train and tram lines, but following the advent of car-based planning, urban development began to stretch north and south where there were no railways or tramways. The 1955 ''[[Plan for the Metropolitan Region, Perth and Fremantle]]'', also known as the ''Stephenson-Hepburn Report'', reinforced this. The report proposed the construction of freeways throughout the Perth metropolitan area and for railways to [[Morley, Western Australia|Morley]] and [[Whitfords, Western Australia|Whitfords]]. When the [[Metropolitan Region Scheme]] was adopted in 1963, reserves were set for the freeways but not the railways. Over the following decades, rail patronage declined and the system fell into disrepair.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=1–2}}<ref name=":1">{{cite web |last1=Zimmerman |first1=Josh |title=Grandson of town planner Gordon Stephenson sets record straight |url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/melville-gazette/grandson-of-town-planner-gordon-stephenson-sets-record-straight-c-801312 |website=PerthNow |agency=Melville Gazette |access-date=30 June 2023 |date=22 February 2017}}</ref>
In 1970, the ''Perth Regional Transport Study'' recommended that the rail system be replaced with busways, but the subsequent [[John Tonkin|Tonkin]] government decided against this after looking at public opinion on this.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=88}} In 1978, the ''Rail and Bus Policies for the Fremantle Corridor'' report recommended that the [[Fremantle line]] close and be replaced with buses. On 2 September 1979, the [[1979–1983 Fremantle railway line closure|Fremantle line was controversially closed]] to passenger services by the [[Charles Court]] Liberal government. A group named the "Friends of the Railways" was formed to advocate against the closure. Following the closure, the Fremantle corridor saw a 30 percent drop in patronage and a petition with over 100,000 was presented to parliament.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=2}} The Liberal government was defeated in the [[1983 Western Australian state election|1983 state election]] and several months later, the Fremantle line reopened on 29 July 1983.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=3}}
===Resurgence===
Soon after the Fremantle line reopened, the state government decided to investigate electrifying the network. It confirmed plans to electrify the network in 1985 and also announced it was investigating building a new transit line to the northern suburbs, what would later become the [[Joondalup line]].{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=4}} New engineering standards were developed to permit trains to fit into and safely run within freeway medians.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> Electrification commenced in 1989 and the new electric trains, now known as the [[Transperth A-series train]]s, commenced operations in September 1991.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=5}}
[[File:Joondalup stn overview.jpg|thumb|[[Joondalup railway station|Joondalup station]], which opened on 20 December 1992|alt=Island platform in a trench surrounded by retaining walls. There are large curved white shelters covering the platform.]]
The ''[[Northern Suburbs Rapid Transit Study]]'' investigated whether the northern suburbs should get [[bus rapid transit]], light rail or heavy rail, among other options. The choice eventually settled on was for heavy rail, like the rest of the rail network.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=5}} Construction on the Joondalup line began in 1990. The line mostly ran though the median of the [[Mitchell Freeway]], deviating east at [[Joondalup]]. It had significantly wider station spacing than the original three lines and several stations were designed as bus-train interchanges. The line opened to partial service on 21 December 1992 with three stations operational ([[Leederville railway station|Leederville]], [[Edgewater railway station|Edgewater]] and [[Joondalup railway station|Joondalup]]). All the stations along the line from Perth to Joondalup opened in March 1993, along with reforms to the bus network in the northern suburbs so that buses fed into interchanges along the railway.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=7}} Later that year, the Joondalup line was extended to [[Currambine railway station|Currambine]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Opening of Currambine railway station next month |url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/07/Opening-of-Currambine-railway-station-next-month.aspx |website=Media Statements |access-date=31 July 2022 |date=17 July 1993 |archive-date=16 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216235703/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/07/Opening-of-Currambine-railway-station-next-month.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=New warning devices for Fastrak trains |url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/08/New-warning-devices-for-Fastrak-trains.aspx |website=Media Statements |access-date=31 July 2022 |date=8 August 1993 |archive-date=1 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220401174002/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/08/New-warning-devices-for-Fastrak-trains.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{further|List of Transperth railway stations|List of closed railway stations in Perth}}
There are 76 railway stations on the Transperth network.{{efn|name=Number of stations|75 stations if [[Perth railway station|Perth station]] and [[Perth Underground railway station|Perth Underground station]] are counted as the same station.}} 39 of those stations have bus transfers.<ref name="Zone Map">{{cite web |title=Transperth Zone Map |url=https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Portals/0/Asset/Documents/Tickets%20&%20Fares/Transperth_zone_map.pdf |website=Transperth |access-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> Five of those stations are underground: Airport Central, Elizabeth Quay, Perth Underground, Redcliffe, and Subiaco stations. Two of those stations only operate during certain times: [[Perth Stadium station]] only operates during events at [[Perth Stadium]] or on weekends, and [[Showgrounds railway station, Perth|Showgrounds station]] only operates during events at the [[Claremont Showground]].
Disabled [[accessibility]] is best on the newer lines, with the heritage lines all having over half their stations non-compliant. All stations along the Airport line branch and the Mandurah line are accessible and all stations along the Joondalup line except [[Edgewater railway station|Edgewater]], [[Leederville railway station|Leederville]], and [[Stirling railway station, Perth|Stirling]] stations are accessible. Perth station is accessible with the exception of platform four, which is used by the Thornlie line. 16 stations along the Armadale and Thornlie lines are not accessible. The exceptions are [[Claisebrook railway station|Claisebrook]], [[Perth Stadium railway station|Perth Stadium]], [[Thornlie railway station|Thornlie]], [[Cannington railway station|Cannington]], and [[Victoria Park railway station, Perth|Victoria Park]] stations. 13 stations along the Fremantle line are not accessible. The exceptions are [[Fremantle railway station|Fremantle]], [[Subiaco railway station|Subiaco]], and [[West Leederville railway station|West Leederville]] stations. Eight stations along the Midland line are not accessible. The exceptions are [[Bassendean railway station|Bassendean]], [[Bayswater railway station, Perth|Bayswater]], Claisebrook, [[East Perth railway station|East Perth]], [[Maylands railway station|Maylands]], and [[Midland railway station, Perth|Midland]] stations. All stations have step-free access. Factors limiting accessibility include non-compliant ramps, a lack of [[tactile paving]], large [[platform gap]]s, and pedestrian level crossings.<ref name="Stations accessibility">{{cite web |title=Stations & Maps |url=https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Using-Transperth/Station-Facilities/Stations-Maps?lid=9&sid=-1 |website=Transperth |access-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
All stations along the Airport line branch, the Joondalup line, and the Mandurah line have {{convert|150|m|adj=on}} long platforms, which are long enough for six car trains, the longest trains used on the network. Most stations along the heritage lines have platforms which are only {{convert|100|m}} long, limiting the length of trains that can be used on those lines. The exceptions are Bayswater, East Perth, Perth, and West Leederville. The other stations are planned to be lengthened eventually.<ref>{{cite web |title=PTA200132 |url=https://www.tenders.wa.gov.au/watenders/tender/display/tender-details.do?CSRFNONCE=1BD3771AA1C297AEE110657EF62EAECC&id=48220&action=display-tender-details&returnUrl=%2Ftender%2Fsearch%2Ftender-search.do%3Faction%3Dsearch-from-main-page%26amp%3BCSRFNONCE%3D15E49E1241E4DD7BCA32791F719A7E27 |website=Tenders WA |access-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>

'''Railways in Perth''', the capital city of [[Western Australia]], have existed since 1881, when the [[Eastern Railway (Western Australia)|Eastern Railway]] was opened between [[Fremantle]] and [[Guildford, Western Australia|Guildford]]. Today, Perth has seven [[Transperth]] commuter rail lines and 75 stations.
The Transperth network is owned and operated by the WA [[Public Transport Authority (Western Australia)|Public Transport Authority]] (PTA) and consists of seven lines: the [[Airport line, Perth|Airport]], [[Armadale line|Armadale]], [[Fremantle line|Fremantle]], [[Joondalup line|Joondalup]], [[Mandurah line|Mandurah]], [[Midland line, Perth|Midland]], and [[Thornlie line|Thornlie]] lines. Perth's trains had 53.2 million boardings in the 2022–23 financial year, giving the Transperth rail network the third highest patronage out of [[List of urban rail systems in Australia|Australia's suburban rail networks]], ahead of Brisbane.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Queensland Rail |date=20 September 2023 |title=Queensland Rail Annual and Financial Report FY2022-2023, Page 40 |url=https://www.queenslandrail.com.au/about%20us/Documents/Queensland%20Rail%20Annual%20and%20Financial%20Report%202022-23.pdf |access-date=26 October 2023 |website=Queensland Rail}}</ref> Under construction is the [[Morley–Ellenbrook line]] and the [[Thornlie–Cockburn link]].

==History==
The [[Eastern Railway (Western Australia)|Eastern Railway]] was the first railway to be constructed in the Perth metropolitan area. It travelled from [[Fremantle]] to [[Guildford, Western Australia|Guildford]] via Perth and opened in 1881.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}} It was first proposed in 1871 following the success of railways in [[Sydney]] and [[Melbourne]].<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History">{{cite web |last1=Bizzaca |first1=Kristy |title=City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework |url=https://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/CityofSubiaco/media/City-of-Subiaco/Planning-and-development/Heritage-buildings-and-places/Subiaco-Thematic-History-Framework_1.pdf |website=City of Subiaco |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200319045110/https://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/CityofSubiaco/media/City-of-Subiaco/Planning-and-development/Heritage-buildings-and-places/Subiaco-Thematic-History-Framework_1.pdf |archive-date=19 March 2020 |page=11 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1874, two possible routes were suggested: one traveling north of the [[Swan River (Western Australia)|Swan River]] via Perth and one travelling south of the river with a branch line to Perth.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}}<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History"/> The Department of Works and Railways was formed in 1877.<ref name="PTA history" /> The northern route was chosen in July 1878, and the contract for the construction of the railway was awarded to [[John Robb (civil engineer)|John Robb]] at a cost of £74,591/19/5 later that year.<ref name="Subiaco Thematic History"/> Governor [[Harry Ord]] turned the [[Sod turning|first sod]] on 3 June 1879, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of British settlement of Western Australia.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}}<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65954725 |title=The Jubilee |newspaper=The Inquirer And Commercial News |date=4 June 1879 |access-date=18 December 2022 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
The railway was operable as far east as [[Perth railway station|Perth station]] by 9 October 1880 and on 1 March 1881, the railway was officially opened between Fremantle and Guildford by Governor [[William C. F. Robinson|William Robinson]].{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=10}} The initial timetable was five trains per day from Fremantle, two terminating at Perth and three terminating at Guildford. There was a severe shortage of rolling stock, and so the trains operated simultaneously as passenger and goods trains.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=11}} A contract was awarded to J. W. Wright for £53,043 for the extension of the line to [[Chidlow, Western Australia|Chidlow]]. This extension opened to traffic on 11 March 1884.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=13}} Suburban trains terminated at Guildford still.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=73}}
The railway was initially just [[Single-track railway|single tracked]] with the only [[passing loop]] being at Perth. Another passing loop was built at [[Claremont, Western Australia|Claremont]] in 1885,{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=11}} and soon after, sidings were built at Guildford.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=14}} In 1886, [[Belmont railway line, Western Australia|a branch line]] opened in [[Bayswater, Western Australia|Bayswater]] to the Swan River foreshore near [[Ascot Racecourse (Western Australia)|Ascot Racecourse]] (known then as Perth Racecourse).{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=14}}
The [[South Western Railway, Western Australia|South Western Railway]] between Perth and [[Bunbury, Western Australia|Bunbury]] opened on 2 May 1893.<ref name="PTA history" />{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=21}}
On 21 February 1896, a {{convert|20|km|adj=on}} new route for the Eastern Railway between [[Midland, Western Australia|Midland Junction]] and [[Mount Helena, Western Australia|Mount Helena]] via [[Swan View, Western Australia|Swan View]] opened. It had a lower gradient than the first route and upon opening, it became the main line with the old route being relegated. The maximum grade of the new route was 1:40 whereas the maximum grade of the old route was 1:29. The new route featured the [[Swan View Tunnel]], the first rail tunnel in Western Australia.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=22}}
Suburban trains on the Eastern Railway were extended to [[Midland Junction railway station|Midland Junction]] when the [[Midland Railway Workshops]] opened in 1904/5. By 1906, suburban trains ran as far as [[Bellevue railway station, Perth|Bellevue]] on the Eastern Railway and as far as [[Maddington railway station|Maddington]] on the South Western Railway.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=73}} Kelmscott and Armadale were considered country towns and were served by the less frequent trains to Bunbury.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=75}}
18 [[WAGR ADG class]] railcars were added to the network in 1954, marking the first time that diesel trains were used for suburban services.<ref name="PTA history">{{cite web |title=Our history |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/about-us/our-role/our-history |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=1 July 2023}}</ref>{{sfnm|1a1=Higham|1y=2007|1p=87|2a1=Wombwell|2y=1991|2p=16}} As they had a higher acceleration, more closely spaced stations were able to be built,{{sfn|Wombwell|1991|p=16}} and so on 28 November 1954, seven new stations opened: [[Ashfield railway station, Perth|Ashfield station]] on the Midland line; [[Grant Street railway station|Grant Street]], [[Loch Street railway station|Loch Street]] and [[Victoria Street railway station, Perth|Victoria Street]] stations on the Fremantle line; and [[Beckenham railway station|Beckenham]] (known then as Higham), [[Oats Street railway station|Oats Street]] and Stokely stations on the Armadale line.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=87}}<ref name=":0">{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59698258 |title=New Timetables For Suburbans |newspaper=The Sunday Times |date=21 November 1954 |access-date=1 April 2022 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52966996 |title=Advertising |newspaper=The West Australian |date=27 November 1954 |access-date=1 April 2022 |page=22 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Headways at this time were 20 minutes on the Fremantle and Midland lines and 40 minutes on the Armadale line.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=75}} The introduction of diesel railcars reduced the time to get to Perth from Fremantle, Bellevue or Armadale, and resulted in an increase in patronage. In 1953–54, there were 7.8 million boardings, which increased to 13.8 million five years later. This increase was only temporary though, with patronage dropping below 10 million per year in 1964 due to the widespread adoption of cars.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=87}} By 5 October 1968, suburban services were fully operated by diesel railcars for the first time.<ref name="PTA history" />
===Decline===
Until the 1950s, the urban development of Perth closely followed the train and tram lines, but following the advent of car-based planning, urban development began to stretch north and south where there were no railways or tramways. The 1955 ''[[Plan for the Metropolitan Region, Perth and Fremantle]]'', also known as the ''Stephenson-Hepburn Report'', reinforced this. The report proposed the construction of freeways throughout the Perth metropolitan area and for railways to [[Morley, Western Australia|Morley]] and [[Whitfords, Western Australia|Whitfords]]. When the [[Metropolitan Region Scheme]] was adopted in 1963, reserves were set for the freeways but not the railways. Over the following decades, rail patronage declined and the system fell into disrepair.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=1–2}}<ref name=":1">{{cite web |last1=Zimmerman |first1=Josh |title=Grandson of town planner Gordon Stephenson sets record straight |url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/melville-gazette/grandson-of-town-planner-gordon-stephenson-sets-record-straight-c-801312 |website=PerthNow |agency=Melville Gazette |access-date=30 June 2023 |date=22 February 2017}}</ref>
In 1970, the ''Perth Regional Transport Study'' recommended that the rail system be replaced with busways, but the subsequent [[John Tonkin|Tonkin]] government decided against this after looking at public opinion on this.{{sfn|Higham|2007|p=88}} In 1978, the ''Rail and Bus Policies for the Fremantle Corridor'' report recommended that the [[Fremantle line]] close and be replaced with buses. On 2 September 1979, the [[1979–1983 Fremantle railway line closure|Fremantle line was controversially closed]] to passenger services by the [[Charles Court]] Liberal government. A group named the "Friends of the Railways" was formed to advocate against the closure. Following the closure, the Fremantle corridor saw a 30 percent drop in patronage and a petition with over 100,000 was presented to parliament.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=2}} The Liberal government was defeated in the [[1983 Western Australian state election|1983 state election]] and several months later, the Fremantle line reopened on 29 July 1983.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=3}}
===Resurgence===
Soon after the Fremantle line reopened, the state government decided to investigate electrifying the network. It confirmed plans to electrify the network in 1985 and also announced it was investigating building a new transit line to the northern suburbs, what would later become the [[Joondalup line]].{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=4}} New engineering standards were developed to permit trains to fit into and safely run within freeway medians.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> Electrification commenced in 1989 and the new electric trains, now known as the [[Transperth A-series train]]s, commenced operations in September 1991.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=5}}
[[File:Joondalup stn overview.jpg|thumb|[[Joondalup railway station|Joondalup station]], which opened on 20 December 1992|alt=Island platform in a trench surrounded by retaining walls. There are large curved white shelters covering the platform.]]
The ''[[Northern Suburbs Rapid Transit Study]]'' investigated whether the northern suburbs should get [[bus rapid transit]], light rail or heavy rail, among other options. The choice eventually settled on was for heavy rail, like the rest of the rail network.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=5}} Construction on the Joondalup line began in 1990. The line mostly ran though the median of the [[Mitchell Freeway]], deviating east at [[Joondalup]]. It had significantly wider station spacing than the original three lines and several stations were designed as bus-train interchanges. The line opened to partial service on 21 December 1992 with three stations operational ([[Leederville railway station|Leederville]], [[Edgewater railway station|Edgewater]] and [[Joondalup railway station|Joondalup]]). All the stations along the line from Perth to Joondalup opened in March 1993, along with reforms to the bus network in the northern suburbs so that buses fed into interchanges along the railway.{{sfn|Newman|2012|p=7}} Later that year, the Joondalup line was extended to [[Currambine railway station|Currambine]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Opening of Currambine railway station next month |url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/07/Opening-of-Currambine-railway-station-next-month.aspx |website=Media Statements |access-date=31 July 2022 |date=17 July 1993 |archive-date=16 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216235703/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/07/Opening-of-Currambine-railway-station-next-month.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=New warning devices for Fastrak trains |url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/08/New-warning-devices-for-Fastrak-trains.aspx |website=Media Statements |access-date=31 July 2022 |date=8 August 1993 |archive-date=1 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220401174002/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Court/1993/08/New-warning-devices-for-Fastrak-trains.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

All stations along the Airport line branch, the Joondalup line, and the Mandurah line have {{convert|150|m|adj=on}} long platforms, which are long enough for six car trains, the longest trains used on the network. Most stations along the heritage lines have platforms which are only {{convert|100|m}} long, limiting the length of trains that can be used on those lines. The exceptions are Bayswater, East Perth, Perth, and West Leederville. The other stations are planned to be lengthened eventually.<ref>{{cite web |title=PTA200132 |url=https://www.tenders.wa.gov.au/watenders/tender/display/tender-details.do?CSRFNONCE=1BD3771AA1C297AEE110657EF62EAECC&id=48220&action=display-tender-details&returnUrl=%2Ftender%2Fsearch%2Ftender-search.do%3Faction%3Dsearch-from-main-page%26amp%3BCSRFNONCE%3D15E49E1241E4DD7BCA32791F719A7E27 |website=Tenders WA |access-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>

<p>Until the 1950s, the urban development of Perth closely followed the train and tram lines, but following the advent of car-based planning, urban development began to stretch north and south where there were no railways or tramways.

When the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Region_Scheme" title="Metropolitan Region Scheme">Metropolitan Region Scheme</a> was adopted in 1963, reserves were set for the freeways but not the railways.

</p><p>In 1970, the <i>Perth Regional Transport Study</i> recommended that the rail system be replaced with busways, but the subsequent <a href="/wiki/John_Tonkin" title="John Tonkin">Tonkin</a> government decided against this after looking at public opinion on this.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHigham200788_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham200788-28">[27]</a></sup> In 1978, the <i>Rail and Bus Policies for the Fremantle Corridor</i> report recommended that the <a href="/wiki/Fremantle_line" title="Fremantle line">Fremantle line</a> close and be replaced with buses.
