I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Growth in
the system has been estimated at six per cent per annum over the next three
years.
(2) One of the
outstanding features of the Perth City Link project, currently being
constructed, is a major pedestrian underpass that will connect the Perth city
station to the Perth underground station. This underpass has been designed as a
wide thoroughfare with a high level of pedestrian amenity and is being built to
meet future capacity requirements. It will greatly improve access between the
stations and the flow of pedestrian movements both now and into the future.
(3) Eight
three-railcar sets will be put into service.
(4) Please
refer to (2).
