This is a very funny quote though. Based on the pictures I've seen, the passengers definitely would have been aware.

These frequencies are driven by patronage forecasts, which will be anywhere from double to quadruple current levels in 2051 (again, these forecasts were done pre-Covid).

This is what Transperth's peak hour frequencies are planned to look like in 2051.
This forecast was done pre-Covid (about 2019 or so), so this might not happen by 2051, but it does give a good idea of what the Public Transport Authority is aiming for.
I'm excited that up to 24 TPH is planned.

The 3-decade old A-series trains have a display in the drivers cab that links to on-platform cameras for use when closing doors.
The C-series trains have thrown that system out the window, using train mounted cameras, which offer a far worse view and need regular cleaning, which is not being done.

It's confirmed. The Armadale line express services will not return when the Byford extension opens, which I'm happy about. It makes for higher frequencies on inner stations.
I'm pretty sure this makes Perth the first city in Australia to permanently do away with express train services.

Not long to go until the Byford extension opens. Testing the displays at stations is happening today.

Something else we do is have large water tanks at tunnel portals in case of fire. This was not previously done. (it was not done for the Subiaco tunnel in the 1990s or the Mandurah line tunnel in the 2000s)

Can confirm its like that in Perth.

The French transit construction cost disease strikes again. In Australia, you could build an underground heavy rail line for half the cost of in France.

New radio poles have been put up in Maylands. This is part of the new digital radio system for Transperth, which will be used by new CBTC signalling.

I believe the ferry terminal will still be on the Applecross side. The Como side terminal will be part of a future stage, as shown by this image:

A structure plan from 2016 shows the western car park will eventually be urbanised, and a new pedestrian connection to the station built.

I for one think the station needs much better pedestrian access to the southeast, northeast and northwest.
