    Intro:
    Perth in Western Australia isn't well known for its railways, and since it's the most isolated city in the world, it would be really interesting to see this city in TSW4. There is a closure on the Armadale and Thornile lines, but this route will take place if they're open. This route is around 45 miles long (72km), and it formed up of 5 lines:
    Armadale Line
    Thornlie Line
    Fremantle Line
    Midland Line
    Airport Line

    Here's a map:

    Trains:
    These are the trains that will run on the route:
    TransPerth A-Series for Armadale, Thornlie, Fremantle & Midland Lines

    I agree, I loved Perth so much when I visited in 2014 and 2018.

    How about going back in time and including the Kalamunda zigzag line!

    Bring it on to the game to make it even better why not combine this with my suggestion the Mandurah Line for those that actually want a Motorway Central reservation running. That line has an equivalent in the United States these are the Chicago Congress O'Hare and Red Line Dan Ryan branches. You can click on my signature for the Mandurah Line. That one has a personal feel to me because my aunt lives within walking distance of the Wellard Railway station.

    Whilst I would like to see this, I think it would be more likely to come up later because the Thornile line is extending to Cockburn Central, where the Mandurah line does go.

    Whilst that would be interesting, I don't think it fully connects with TransPerth as it's an old route that doesn't exist anymore.

    I agree and for the time table there can be a Mandurah to Perth Upper Platforms via Wellard and Thornile.
