Way back in the early 2000s a proposal was floated by the Western Australian state government to build a light rail line from the Rockingham railway station to the Rockingham CBD. Unfortunately this never occurred and is one of many light rail proposals for WA.

I reckon Freo to Mandurah train line with a fast light rail service is important. To bring people into Fremantle. Currently its quicker for people in Leeming to travel to Osborne Park to work than to Fremantle. Options are Canning Hwy to Canning Bridge, Leach Hwy to Canning Bridge or Bullcreek or South St to Murdoch. Alternatively, consider an extension of train or light rail on tracks through to Cockburn Central to connect with the Thornlie connection. The other light rail really required is north through to Mirrabooka. Also consider options through to Curtin VicPark and Stadium.

The green is under construction as part of the TCL. Under the proposal, Welshpool was to be closed which closed last November

Unfortunately they won't do it. If Scarborough, Karrinyup, Mirrabooka, Morley, Gt Eastern Hwy, Optus Stadium, Curtin, UWA isn't happening then I think this is a long way down the pecking order. I'd like it considered on existing rail lines then moving to tram tracks from Fremantle, past Fisherman's harbour and connect with Cockburn. That would make sense but may never happen.

Agreed, there are other places that would benefit more from trams.

If the service is provided by a bus, why spend more ? Incremental steps up are to an ebus service and then trackless trams.

Rather have the bendy bus than the trackless tram tbh. It would cost so much to implement the latter while it's more or less just a longer bus.

@@kingcoong I agree that it is essentially a long bus but implementation doesn't need to be terribly expensive. Last year, I saw them operating in Chengdu where they do have an (expensive) elevated track. There are now 3 of them being used in the City of Stirling using existing roads. If you live in Perth, go take a look.

Just use trackless trams

While trackless trams are cheaper to implement than light rail. They have higher maintenance and upkeep costs compared to light rail.
