SUBURBAN
TRAINS — CLAISEBROOK DEPOT
262. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Transport:
(1) How many
A-series trains are currently stored at the Claisebrook depot each night?
(2) Where are
the remainder of the A-series trains stored each night?
(3) Currently,
what is the maximum number of A-series trains that can be stored overnight at
the Claisebrook depot?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Forty-four
A-series trains are currently stored at the Claisebrook depot each night.
(2) The
remainder of the A-series trains are stored at the Nowergup depot.
(3) Although
48 A-series trains is the maximum number of trains that can be stored at
Claisebrook depot overnight, this number does not allow for the efficient
movement and operation of trains given the depot's current layout.
