It was a Sunday, we took a “long” walk from the hotel we stayed and reached the train station.  We walked along the Albany Highway and we passed through the Carousel Shopping mall.  The weather was not really hot, we were not sweating but the low humidity dry air made us thirsty easily.

When we reached the train station, we did not know how to get the tickets.  We asked a helpful couple and discovered that the ticket selling machine was just behind the seat.  The helpful lady and her husband demonstrated how to buy the ticket from the machine.  She talked to us and told us the places of interest in Perth on our journey from the Cannington station to the Perth City.

This is another lady who wanted to get down from the train.  The button needs to be pressed to open the door when the train stops at each station.

The helpful lady has a strong accent, we could catch what she said but not every word.  I remember she told us many places of interest in Perth such as the Casino.  Surprisingly on our return trip on the train we met this couple again.  Again, the helpful lady told us more about Perth.  This couple take their bicycle with them onto the train.  When we reached the Cannington station they also get down from the train.  Before we had the chance to say bye bye and thank them, they went away toward the other direction because they use the path to allow their bicycle to get down the staircase.

-  This is the Cannington train station.

-  Looking to the left.

-  Looking to the right.  The train was coming but it was not at our side.

-  There is always a signboard to tell us how long the train will be coming.

-  The ticket selling machine.

-  The complete routes can be found in the train.

-  Before we get on the train on our return trip, we were not sure which platform should we go to.  This is the center where all different routes meet here.   We were lucky because the train started to move not long after we get on to it, otherwise we might have missed the train and have to wait for the next one.

-  This station is bigger and has more facility compare to the Cannington station.

-  A lot of people had just arrived and queuing to take the escalator to the upper floor.

-  There is another escalator and bridge at the otherside that allow passenger to get across the railway.

-  Crowded.  Some of them were wearing their uniform.  I guess they might have just finished their activities and came to the city to have their lunch.

Generally we are satisfied with the service of Transperth Train.

Trainsperth is a brand name of the public transport system in Perth, Western Australia which was launched in 1986 as part of a series of reforms integrating Perth’s public bus, ferry and rail services. — from Wikipedia.
