Which suburb?[edit]

Is this station in Perth or East Perth? Hack (talk) 06:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the border. The station itself is in East Perth, but the carpark and front entrance are in Perth. Orderinchaos 09:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gauges[edit]

Would it be clearer to say that:

P1 and P2 are narrow gauge only

while

P3 is standard gauge only ? Tabletop (talk) 09:32, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following statement is a bit misleading as it may imply that all tracks are dual gauge which the picture shows they are not.

Both narrow and standard gauge track is laid throughout the station.

{{subst:Unsigned|

There are two components - the local 3 6 gauge island electrified transperth system railway station, and the separate long platformed interstate tereminal with dual gauge Satu Suro 10:10, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also p3 is rubbish - its East Perth Interstate Rail Terminal - as named and utilised by the services that use it - the article is in need of re-writing quite severely Satu Suro 10:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

deleted section[edit]

Please find somevery good refs to verify that the Interstate terminus is indeed P3 , and also a very good reason why it should be all included with local service info

Add Transwa train and bus services[edit]

A few months ago User:PhilipTerryGraham moved all information on the Transwa and Indian Pacific train services to the Public Transport Centre page. I'm proposing to revert this change for these reasons:

The East Perth Terminal is directly linked to the Transperth station - they are not geographically separate. Having two different operators doesn't necessitate having two articles. For instance, the Shinjuku Station article includes several independently operated stations (JR, Odakyu, Toei, etc).
All articles on these train services (Prospector, Indian Pacific) and all station articles that these services stop at all link to East Perth railway station. It would be quite time consuming to change all of these names and their links to East Perth Terminal (a page which doesn't currently exist).
In my view it would otherwise be confusing and unecessary to have two articles relating to what users of the station would regard as being the same station.

I also intend to add the Transwa bus services. The Public Transport Centre relates to the building and this article can be retained as a separate page as an encyclopedia for the architecture and relevance of the building to its tenants. Rund717 (talk) 12:51, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rund717: I should really stress that I had nothing to do with the writing of these articles. As shown in the edit history, I merely modified the {{s-rail}} and {{s-line}} templates, along with {{Public Transport Authority of Western Australia railway stations}} parameters, to reflect that information on the East Perth Terminal was on the Public Transport Centre page. I didn’t make that article the host of information on the East Perth Terminal; that section of the article body was already there before my edits, I simply moved the necessary templates over there to reflect the status quo. If there is to be a discussion whether or not information on the East Perth Terminal should be moved to the East Perth railway station article from Public Transport Centre article, then that’s fine by me, but please don’t put the blame on the wrong people for certain things.

Otherwise, I agree with all your points above and think it’d be best to merge the information into the East Perth railway station article, since they definitely don’t seem to be separate entities at all. We have a similar situation in Sydney where Central station is technically two stations, a “Central suburban” and “Sydney Terminal” station, But is operated, documented, and in all practicality considered the same station. I believe that to be the case for East Perth railway station, too. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 13:25, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
