(a) Yes.
(b) Average seating capacity is 130 per train set; standing capacity is 230 per train set.

(f) Railcars have been cascaded from the Joondalup and Mandurah line to both the Midland and Fremantle lines in June 2009 and February 2010. This has resulted in an increase in capacity of approximately 20 per cent and provided train services are not disrupted for any reason, all passengers are able to board their preferred train service.
