I thank the member for some notice of this very pertinent question. Where possible, accessible buses are used, but there is no guarantee that all rail replacement buses are wheelchair accessible due to operational requirements on the rest of the Transperth system. Transperth train or bus staff will arrange maxi-taxi or multipurpose taxi services for people in wheelchairs on request. Passengers can also call customer service on 1800 800 002 to request assistance at stations.
