(1) Yes.
(2) No not at this stage. As the Member would be aware, Greenwood station like Edgewater and Currambine stations on the Joondalup line was designed and constructed to provide additional "Park and Ride" and "Kiss and Ride" capacity and to allow the local community to walk or cycle to the train. It was not constructed as a bus rail interchange and would require significant investment to modify the existing car park to build a bus station. The suburbs east and west of Greenwood station are served by buses that operate between Whitfords and Warwick stations.
(3) No not at this stage. Duncraig High School is currently served by Transperth's Route 443 that operates between Warwick station and Whitfords station. In the morning, students may utilise appropriately timed 443 services from either station, with afternoon services provided by a mix of 443 services and a dedicated school special service (number 1) from the school to Warwick station.
