Joondalup line

The Joondalup line is a commuter rail service in Western Australia, linking the Perth central business district (CBD) with the metropolitan area's north-western suburbs. The service is operated on the Northern Suburbs Railway by Transperth Train Operations,[1][2] a division of the Public Transport Authority, and is part of the Transperth network. It is 40.7 kilometres (25.3 mi) long and serves 13 stations. The service is currently being extended to Yanchep.[3]

Construction of the infrastructure for the service began on 14 November 1989. It opened between Perth station and Joondalup station on 20 December 1992, albeit with only Perth, Leederville, Edgewater and Joondalup stations operational. The remaining stations began operating on 21 March 1993 and the line was completed to Currambine on 8 August 1993. The service has been extended beyond the original terminus several times since, with the current extension to Yanchep scheduled to open on 15 July 2024, upon which the line will be renamed the Yanchep line.[3][4][5]

Trains take 38 minutes to get from Perth Underground station to Butler station. The service is the second busiest on the Transperth network, with 14,045,991 boardings in the 2022–23 financial year. Headways are at least every 15 minutes during the day, rising to every 5 minutes on parts during peak time. Trains through-run south beyond Perth Underground and Elizabeth Quay as the Mandurah line.

History edit

 
Part of Joondalup railway station in 2014

Construction of the railway line commenced with Premier Peter Dowding driving the first spike on 14 November 1989. The line to Joondalup was opened by Premier Carmen Lawrence on 20 December 1992.[6][7][8] Initially only Leederville, Edgewater and Joondalup stations were opened with the remaining stations opened as completed for a full service to commence on 21 March 1993.[9][10] A realignment of the entire Transperth bus system was undertaken whereby the new railway stations became bus interchanges. On 8 August 1993, the line was completed to Currambine.[11][12]

Initially, service frequencies were similar to those for the Fremantle line as lower passenger numbers were anticipated; however, overcrowding saw the doubling of services between Perth and Whitfords on weekdays. Services were reverted to Fremantle line frequencies between 09:00 and 14:00 on 28 June 2009 due to low passenger numbers on those services.[13]

On 4 October 2004, the line was extended to Clarkson as part of the New MetroRail project. Nowergup depot opened at the same time.[1][14] On 29 January 2005, Greenwood was opened to alleviate pressure at the adjacent Warwick and Whitfords stations.[6][15]

On 8 August 2005, the service, which previously continued south from Perth station onto the Armadale line, was curtailed at Perth and no longer provided a through service. On 15 October 2007, Joondalup line trains began running to Perth Underground and Elizabeth Quay stations via new tunnels under central Perth.[16]

On 23 December 2007, the opening of the Mandurah line resulted in Joondalup services operating through to Mandurah.[citation needed] On 21 September 2014, the service was extended to Butler.[17]

Yanchep extension edit

Labor promised ahead of the 2017 state election that it would build the Yanchep Rail Extension as part of its revised Metronet plans. It was promised that the extension would open in 2021 and cost $386 million.[18]

The September 2017 state budget gave the Yanchep Rail Extension a cost of $520.2 million.[19][20][21]

The business case for the Yanchep Rail Extension was submitted to Infrastructure Australia in August 2017.[22] In November 2018, Infrastructure Australia released its assessment of the project, adding the project to the Infrastructure Priority List as a "High Priority Project" and giving it a projected economic benefit of $2.549 billion and a benefit–cost ratio of 2.6. Infrastructure Australia recommended that the contract for the Thornlie–Cockburn Link be combined with the contract for the Yanchep Rail Extension of the Joondalup line to save costs during procurement.[23][24][25] The Infrastructure Australia assessment allowed $700 million in federal funding to be spent on the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie–Cockburn Link, of which $350 million was for the Yanchep Rail Extension.[26][27]

Enabling legislation was introduced to the Parliament of Western Australia in May 2018[28][29] and passed in November 2018.[30] The project definition plan, detailing the scope of the project, for the Yanchep Rail Extension was approved by state cabinet in July 2018.[31]

A request for proposal was released in September 2018 for the design and construct contract for the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie–Cockburn Link.[32][33] Two consortia were shortlisted in April 2019: METROconnex, a joint venture between Coleman Rail, Clough Group, and Georgiou Group; and NEWest Alliance, a joint venture between CPB Contractors and Downer.[34][35][36] In November 2019, NEWest Alliance was announced as the preferred proponent to design and build the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie–Cockburn Link.[37][38][39] The following month, the contract was signed.[40][41][42] The cost of the Yanchep Rail Extension at the time was $531.7 million.[43]

Early works began in November 2019 and a sod turning ceremony took place on 24 November, making the Yanchep Rail Extension the second Metronet project to begin construction, after the Forrestfield–Airport Link.[43] Major works on the Yanchep Rail Extension began in mid-2020.[44] Construction at Alkimos station had begun by March 2021, with the first major concrete pour taking place that month.[45]

In June 2021, PerthNow reported that work on the Yanchep Rail Extension had stalled, but the PTA was still saying the extension would open in late 2022.[46] The government first raised the potential for a delay in July 2021,[47] and after the September 2021 state budget, it was revealed that the Yanchep Rail Extension's opening date would be delayed by a year to late 2023 due to a skills shortage and to ease pressure on Western Australia's construction industry.[48][49][50] To cut costs, the construction of a shared path along the Yanchep Rail Extension was cancelled, with the decision being justified by there being a shared path already along Marmion Avenue and a proposed one to be constructed as part of the extension of the Mitchell Freeway. The decision to cancel the shared path was criticised by cycling groups and the City of Wanneroo.[51][52][53] By the end of 2021, work on all three stations was underway. At Eglinton and Yanchep stations, the foundations were being poured, and at Alkimos station, retaining walls had been put up.[54][55]

The May 2022 state budget revealed a $175.3 million cost increase,[56] and the May 2023 state budget revealed a $375.3 million cost increase,[57][58][59] bringing the extension's total cost to $1.08 billion.[60] The March 2022 federal budget revealed the federal government would provide $90 million of additional funding for the project, bringing its share of the project to $440 million.[61][62] After the May 2023 budget, the government said that the Yanchep extension "is due for completion at the end of 2023, with services commencing in the new year"[63] That month, the first 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) of track had been laid.[64][65] The first train ran on the Yanchep Rail Extension on 22 December 2023.[60][66] Passenger services are scheduled to commence on 15 July 2024.[67][68]

Future edit

There are provisions for a special events station to be built to service Arena Joondalup. However, there are currently no plans for that to go ahead.[69][70]

Description edit

The railway has a gauge of 1,067 millimetres (3 ft 6 in); the same as the rest of the Transperth network. South of Currambine, the line is designed for a maximum speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph); north of Currambine, the line is designed for a maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph).[citation needed] During hot weather, the tracks can distort. As a result, train speeds are reduced by approximately 20 kilometres per hour (12 mph) when the air temperature is above 39 °C (102 °F), and by an additional 10 kilometres per hour (6.2 mph) when the air temperature is above 41 °C (106 °F).[71][72]

The Transperth network currently uses fixed block signalling and automatic train protection, which stops trains that pass a red signal and slows trains that drive too fast.[73]: 21  These systems will be replaced by an automatic train control system, likely a communications-based train control system.[73]: 27  The new systems are planned to be in place on the Joondalup line by June 2029,[73]: 77  and will allow up to at least 30 trains per hour to use the line.[73]: 28 

Route edit

At its southern end, the service (travelling north) begins as a continuation of the Mandurah line at Elizabeth Quay and (travelling south) ends as a continuation of the Mandurah line at Perth Underground. The 1.5-kilometre-long (0.93 mi) section through the Perth CBD runs underground, passing underneath the Fremantle line at Yagan Square which at their crossing also runs underground. The service surfaces and enters the median of the Mitchell Freeway. It continues north along the freeway until Butler, only exiting the median to pass through the centre of Joondalup, the major suburban centre fed by the service. At Butler, the service veers off to the west, terminating at Butler railway station.

Service edit

The Joondalup line has three stopping patterns in addition to all stops services. All stops services run every 15 minutes during the day Monday to Sunday, every 10 minutes during the weekday peak, and every half an hour or every hour at night. In addition, there is the W stopping pattern, which stops at all stations between Elizabeth Quay and Whitfords, terminating there. This runs every 10 minutes during the weekday peak, so stations between Perth and Whitfords have a service every 5 minutes in each direction during peak. There is also the K stopping pattern, which stops at all stations between Perth and Clarkson, terminating there. This runs every 10 minutes towards Perth before peak instead of W pattern services, and every 10 minutes towards Clarkson after peak instead of W pattern services. The other stopping pattern is the P stopping pattern, which runs from Whitfords to Perth Station, instead of Perth Underground. There is one P stopping pattern service per weekday, departing Whitfords at the end of the morning peak.[75][76]

Rolling stock edit

 
Transperth B-series train south of Butler station

Transperth B-series trains and C-series trains run on the Joondalup line. The B-series trains are three cars long each, and are typically coupled together to form six car sets. These trains have a maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph), and have two doors on each side per car.[77] The C-series trains are six cars long, have a maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph), and have three doors on each side per car, which help reduce dwell times at stations compared to the B-series, making 18 trains per hour possible.[78] Previously, there were Transperth A-series trains operating on the line. These trains are two cars long, typically coupled together to form four car sets, have a maximum speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph), and have two doors on each side per car. As more B-series trains were delivered, A-series trains were moved from the Joondalup and Mandurah lines to the other lines on the network.[79] The C-series trains entered service on 8 April 2024.[80][81] The B-series trains will be gradually transferred onto the other lines to replace A-series trains.[78][82] By about 2031, all trains on the Joondalup line will be C-series trains.[73]: 79 

In May 2002, the government signed a contract with EDI RailBombardier Transportation for the delivery and maintenance of 31 three car B-series trains, and the construction of the Nowergup depot.[77] In December 2006, the government signed another contract for 15 more three car B-series trains.[83][84] The first of these additional railcars were delivered in 2009, allowing several A-series trains to be moved from the Joondalup and Mandurah lines to other lines on the network, and for frequencies to increase on most lines, including the Joondalup line.[79] In July 2011,[85] the government ordered 15 more three car B-series trains.[86][87] In August 2012, this order was increased by two, to cater for the opening of Aubin Grove station on the Mandurah line. In November 2012, this order was increased by five, bringing the total order to 22 three car trains.[85][88] By the final delivery from that order, all trains operating on the Joondalup and Mandurah lines were B-series trains.[88] In December 2019, the government signed a contract with Alstom for the construction of 41 six car C-series trains.[89] These trains are expected to enter service on 8 April 2024.[80][81]

Most trains on the Joondalup line are stored and cleaned at Nowergup depot. There is also Mandurah depot on the southern end of the Mandurah line, which can store and clean a smaller number of trains. Maintenance occurs at Nowergup depot.[citation needed]

commence on 21 March 1993 9 10 A realignment of the entire Transperth bus system was undertaken whereby the new railway stations became bus interchanges On 8 August 1993 the line was completed to Currambine 11 12 Initially service frequencies were similar to those for the Fremantle line as lower passenger numbers were anticipated however overcrowding saw the doubling of services between Perth and Whitfords on weekdays Services were reverted to Fremantle line frequencies between 09 00 and 14 00 on 28 June 2009 due to low passenger numbers on those services 13 On 4 October 2004 the line was extended to Clarkson as part of the New MetroRail project Nowergup depot opened at the same time 1 14 On 29 January 2005 Greenwood was opened to alleviate pressure at the adjacent Warwick and Whitfords stations 6 15 On 8 August 2005 the service which previously continued south from Perth station onto the Armadale line was curtailed at Perth and no longer provided a through service On 15 October 2007 Joondalup line trains began running to Perth Underground and Elizabeth Quay stations via new tunnels under central Perth 16 On 23 December 2007 the opening of the Mandurah line resulted in Joondalup services operating through to Mandurah citation needed On 21 September 2014 the service was extended to Butler 17 Yanchep extension edit Labor promised ahead of the 2017 state election that it would build the Yanchep Rail Extension as part of its revised Metronet plans It was promised that the extension would open in 2021 and cost 386 million 18 The September 2017 state budget gave the Yanchep Rail Extension a cost of 520 2 million 19 20 21 The business case for the Yanchep Rail Extension was submitted to Infrastructure Australia in August 2017 22 In November 2018 Infrastructure Australia released its assessment of the project adding the project to the Infrastructure Priority List as a High Priority Project and giving it a projected economic benefit of 2 549 billion and a benefit cost ratio of 2 6 Infrastructure Australia recommended that the contract for the Thornlie Cockburn Link be combined with the contract for the Yanchep Rail Extension of the Joondalup line to save costs during procurement 23 24 25 The Infrastructure Australia assessment allowed 700 million in federal funding to be spent on the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie Cockburn Link of which 350 million was for the Yanchep Rail Extension 26 27 Enabling legislation was introduced to the Parliament of Western Australia in May 2018 28 29 and passed in November 2018 30 The project definition plan detailing the scope of the project for the Yanchep Rail Extension was approved by state cabinet in July 2018 31 A request for proposal was released in September 2018 for the design and construct

begun by March 2021 with the first major concrete pour taking place that month 45 In June 2021 PerthNow reported that work on the Yanchep Rail Extension had stalled but the PTA was still saying the extension would open in late 2022 46 The government first raised the potential for a delay in July 2021 47 and after the September 2021 state budget it was revealed that the Yanchep Rail Extension s opening date would be delayed by a year to late 2023 due to a skills shortage and to ease pressure on Western Australia s construction industry 48 49 50 To cut costs the construction of a shared path along the Yanchep Rail Extension was cancelled with the decision being justified by there being a shared path already along Marmion Avenue and a proposed one to be constructed as part of the extension of the Mitchell Freeway The decision to cancel the shared path was criticised by cycling groups and the City of Wanneroo 51 52 53 By the end of 2021 work on all three stations was underway At Eglinton and Yanchep stations the foundations were being poured and at Alkimos station retaining walls had been put up 54 55 The May 2022 state budget revealed a 175 3 million cost increase 56 and the May 2023

designed for a maximum speed of 110 kilometres per hour 68 mph north of Currambine the line is designed for a maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour 81 mph citation needed During hot weather the tracks can distort As a result train speeds are reduced by approximately 20 kilometres per hour 12 mph when the air temperature is above 39 C 102 F and by an additional 10 kilometres per hour 6 2 mph when the air temperature is above 41 C 106 F 71 72 The Transperth network currently uses fixed block signalling and automatic train protection which stops trains that pass a red signal and slows trains that drive too fast 73 21 These systems will be replaced by an automatic train control system likely a communications based train control system 73 27 The new systems are planned to be in place on the Joondalup line by June 2029 73 77 and will allow up to at least 30 trains per hour to use the line 73 28 Route edit nbsp Transperth system map with the Joondalup line in green and the Yanchep

the day Monday to Sunday every 10 minutes during the weekday peak and every half an hour or every hour at night In addition there is the W stopping pattern which stops at all stations between Elizabeth Quay and Whitfords terminating there This runs every 10 minutes during the weekday peak so stations between Perth and Whitfords have a service every 5 minutes in each direction during peak There is also the K stopping pattern which stops at all stations between Perth and Clarkson terminating there This runs every 10 minutes towards Perth before peak instead of W pattern services and every 10 minutes towards Clarkson after peak instead of W pattern services The other stopping pattern is the P stopping pattern which runs from Whitfords to Perth Station instead of Perth Underground
