- Express to Daglish to turnback
The Ellenbrook line runs services to Perth railway station. However, after reaching Perth, the trains run as Not in Service Express to Daglish to turnback, utilizing the pre-installed turnback railway at Daglish station.[1]
The decision to implement this turnback procedure at Daglish is based on the goal of optimizing train turnaround times and maintaining a high level of service efficiency on the Ellenbrook line. By having trains turn back at Daglish, it reduces the congestion at Perth station and ensures that trains can be quickly and efficiently repositioned for their return journey.
Despite the operational benefits for the Ellenbrook line, this approach has faced criticism for potentially neglecting the Fremantle line. The Fremantle line, which runs parallel to the Ellenbrook line through the city, is a critical component of Perth's public transport network and services a large number of daily commuters. Critics argue that the focus on the Daglish turnback could limit opportunities for enhancing Fremantle line services.[2]
Increasing the frequency and capacity of Fremantle line services is seen as essential to meet growing passenger demands, particularly during peak travel times. Additionally, by redirecting resources and attention primarily to the Ellenbrook line’s operational needs, there's a risk that the potential for improvements on the Fremantle line might be overlooked. This could result in a missed opportunity to enhance overall network efficiency and passenger convenience.
Furthermore, the current approach does not fully consider the broader implications for the entire rail network. Integrating a more holistic strategy that balances the needs of both the Ellenbrook and Fremantle lines could provide better long-term solutions. This would not only improve service reliability and frequency on both lines but also support a more robust and interconnected public transport system for the Perth metropolitan area.[3]
