Homes could be advertised as being near a Silver or Gold line, and a maps of Silver and Gold, and Gold routes (it would basically be a marketing spin for 'frequent service map'). Also, a 20 minute frequency on non-express stops on the Midland and Fremantle lines is unacceptable, especially if we want to make use of older areas for housing rather than pushing more people onto the Joondalup and Mandurah lines. Yes, the Midland line is congested too, but it wouldn't be if it had similar service levels to the Joondalup and Mandurah lines; someday Transperth needs to look at augmenting or replacing the A sets.Frederick.aSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285780335819667815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551308479757975230.post-82375527256448186822013-01-14T19:52:48.615+08:002013-01-14T19:52:48.615+08:00Particularly like the idea of a TUAG peak network ...Particularly like the idea of a TUAG peak network - as long as this applies to trains as well as buses to maintain connectivity (perhaps Silver on Midland-Fremantle and Clarkson-Mandurah, and gold for Whitfords-Cockburn. Armadale/Thornlie is more of a problem due to track capacity.) I'd also like to see more half-hourly feeders and upgraded TUAG zones on weekends.<br /><br />But alas it all depends on how much $$$ the government are willing to spend.<br /><br />As an aside there are some interesting changes coming up early next month for which timetables have now been released. A few cutbacks, but mostly positive overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
