Commuters urged to check new bus and train timetables

Peter Katsambanis MLC, Member for North Metropolitan Region, has urged commuters across Perth’s northern suburbs to make sure they check the changes to bus and train timetables from 21 September 2014 to coincide with the opening of the new Butler train station.

The opening of the new train station and associated new bus routes will provide commuters with a greater range of public transport options.

But the additional station will require a new timetable for all stations on the Joondalup train line. There will also be associated timetable changes and some route changes on many bus services operating right across the northern suburbs.

The State Government has released details of all route and timetable changes well in advance to make sure that commuters are able to plan their journeys from 21 September onwards.

Some of the affected bus routes include the following: 352, 387, 390, 391, 402, 403, 404, 407, 410, 412, 413, 414, 415, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 427, 428, 441, 442, 443, 444, 445, 446, 447, 449, 450, 460, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 473, 474, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 490, 990.

The new bus route 491 will be introduced which will run from Butler Train Station to Yanchep along Marmion Avenue. In total six bus routes will operate to and from Butler Station, which will also have 900 parking bays and facilities to securely store bicycles.
