Yanchep Rail Extension OPENING!!!

Published 2024-07-14
On Sunday 14th July 2024, the Yanchep Rail Extension finally opened after the typical METRONET years of delays and cost blowouts... But it was worth it!!

The new stations are all so grand and immaculate, uncomparable to the standard of most of the other Joondalup, or should I say YANCHEP, Line stations. Join me as I venture onto the VIP service from Alkimos to Yanchep via Eglinton on brand new C-series set 131 on its first ever service. We then do a quick exploration of each station, and a full journey on the new section with a quieter B-series train, finishing with a few train clips at some of the stations.

Stay tuned for the new station videos coming for each station this week to add to my playlist, as well as all the new bus routes which start operation on Monday!

  • I'm so upset I missed this! Thankfully you were there to film! The stations look very nice
  • @Tysxno
    Love the eagle awkwardly standing on the VIP service 💀
  • @O405NHCNG
    Finally! The Yanchep extension video!
  • @kertchu
    Nice rainy day, man I wish I was there but I live in America.
  • I wish I went but I had to go back to Kalgoorlie. If I'd known about the Yanchep line opening, I would've gone to the for the festival and trains for a few hours then stay in Southern Cross overnight. I'll definitely keep an eye and ear out for the grand opening of the Ellenbrook line
  • @swanman1984.
    Great video Mark, noticed some flogs have already graffitied on the pylon as you come into yanchep.
  • @rccts
    Odd to hear a different outro this time!
  • @Twirlinggamer
    That’s awesome you were on the VIP Service! Surprised Auzzie was there.
  • @ABTrainsYT
    If only there was a third TransWA service which goes from Perth to Geraldton via the Yanchep line 🤔
  • @Arrowbow_YT
    I might go on it today FINALLY IT'S OPEN Yay! (oh wow that rhymes lol)
  • @TigerTask3
    You may notice that they misspelled one of the new bus stops (Marmion Av Before/After Mordernism Av, supposed to be Modernism Av), and it shows on both the app and the Eglinton Stn bus stops 💀 Probably on Alkimos Stn too but I didn’t check there
  • @williamp88
    I might have seen you on the train - 5:25pm @ Clarkson I was with family so I couldn't come over
  • @revilok08
    Lets go!!! as someone who lives in melbourne but travels to perth ALOT, i am so exited to travel on it when i go there next, by the way, can everyone get thoes smartriders, or is it just for people invited to the event and of course looking to the station video coming our way, keep up the great videos!! thats also so strange with the station signs being black, i feel it would be better to keep it consistent with the line colour
  • I got some questions, do you know if the midland land is still being extended? why does yancheap have 3 platforms being an end of line station? and know perth has not more patterns or express services?
