Having transit museums like this be connected to mass transit, especially this way, is extremely underrated. In Denmark where I'm from, our national tramway museum, which is one of the largest in the world, sadly sits very isolated and far from everything, making it a chore to get to. The best you can do is hope they run a shuttlebus service to a regional train station nearby on the day you hope to visit. Our tramway museum does have a Melbourne W class just like the one featured in your video btw. You rode on number 891 while we have number 965, which is actually owned by the King and Queen of Denmark, since our Queen was born on Tasmania and lived and worked in Melbourne for many years before getting married to King Fred.

And in case anyone needs a forecast the next 4 are: anzac, town hall, library and parkville 2026, PRL stage 2 olympic park 2029 or so, SRL box hill and deakin uni 2032 competing with Hunter St and olympic park stations on Sydney metro west 2032.

No Parramatta light rail is the latest

Not sure if you covered or even know of Sydney harbour bridge (not full scale) in Waroona, but I use to deliver to them many year’s ago, I think it was called Bonny’s garden centre (don’t quote me on that). An old couple use to own it and I was told the old boy built the foot bridge years before, if you look on maps you can just make it out on Parnell st Waroona.

Nana recently told me about Belmont train station

Tramsvestites.

"I Just Subscribed" It suits me and it serves Brendan. Simple :) Very useful insight to the new Ellenbrook line :)

it will be the newest until a few months ANZAC station opens

So good to see the Whiteman Park operation being taken seriously by the government and the rail infrastructure contractor. It’s evidence that heritage/tourist tramway operations can be considered worth investment and encouragement. Great video, thank you Brendan.

Thanks for showing this. I live around the corner and go to Whitman Park a lot with my dog, pity I can't take the train and tram with him.

I can visit from Melbourne & feel back at home (ish)

Must've been really good surveyors on the project so that it finished on time!

I wonder if you should do a video about sizzler (the restaurant that closed down a few years ago)

These look like Melbourne trams of old.

Ws are friend-shaped.

I had no idea that (a) Whiteman Park was a stop on the Ellenbrook line, or (b) the tram system had been connected. Kinda. That’s so cool! I live in Perth and don’t recall this being part of the publicity. Getting to Whiteman Park and the Caversham Wildlife Park within it is going to be much less hassle for a lot of people now. I’m looking forward to sharing your video to let other people know. 😊

The pain of being The Unpopular tram...

The most famous I've ever been is getting off a tram in a Brendan's Odyssey video. I'm now semi cool.

Any enhancement to Perth's impoverished public transport is a good thing and it's nice to see a bit of history integrated into future thinking. Thanks for the video, Brendan. Entertaining and informative as always.

the old Melbourne tram needs some cosmetics attention , bit neglected looking

And using Melbourne's W class trams!

Nice video, LIKE

“Probably Australia’s newest train-tram connection.” A reasonable guess but it depends what you mean by ‘tram’! Westmead rail-light rail connection opened 20 December 2024.

1:09 wow it's so pretty!

I work at Ascot Racecourse during the racing carnivals so this was interesting, thanks.

I'm looking forward to taking the same trip! 😊

Catching public transport into Whiteman park that's not a bus, this is awesome. I had no idea this was done as part of the Ellenbrook line. Thanks!

I haven't been on a train since I was 16, 40yrs ago, and I doubt I will be on one in the next 40yrs

I had never heard of this until recently, thankyou for keeping history alive. Your mini doco's are well put together. Can't wait for the next one!!

I will 100% ride this tram line soon

Thanks Brendon! Will have to do this next time we come to Perth!

Not quite first but definitely not last!

Was it just me or could that have been made longer. It is nice seeing the new upgrade. Hopefully it will encourge more to visit the park and chek out our history which is fastly disapearing.

That's a great idea. Trams are an interesting part of our transport history and interesting to ride. We got to ride the Adeleide trams quite a few years back.

That's extremely cool. I'll definitely make that trip. Wish my dad was still around to see it

Great work Brendan. I only heard about this tram line once they opened the Ellenbrook line. I think it's brilliant.

Just discovered you so glad someone is covering perth and WA

Went there like 5ish years ago I loved the op shop

Never though I'd see WMP be accessible by public transport, that so weird, always used to driving there for an hour or two to park in that awfully hot car park...

I was up there a couple of weeks ago and didn't realise what I was looking at. I am going to have to go back for a second look.

A small note about the tram, when the fire danger is high enough they don't run.

Fascinating. Thank you.

Didn't know this was happening. Thanks for highlighting the project.

They kept delaying the Ellenbrook line because they said the population along the line wasn't enough yet, much like the Currambine-Yanchep stations.. Even if the corridor hasn't reached that magic number yet and the trains run empty outside of rush hour, I'm just happy to see trams connecting to trains. Great video!

Never thought I’d be excited for trams but I’m a local in the area and I think they’re adorable and I’m excited to visit

Thankyou Brendan for this video! 👍

just put an ATM in it ?
