Why is the Route 450 service going to Warwick instead of Greenwood?

Transperth appreciates that some members of the community support a bus service to Greenwood Station. Route 450 will operate to Warwick Station based on the fact that Greenwood Station was never designed or constructed with a suitable bus interchange.
For Transperth to divert buses into Greenwood, significant amounts of commuter parking would be lost to ensure a facility of similar size to Warwick and Whitfords.

• Residents along Wanneroo Rd between Kingsway and Beach Road will have improved access to the Joondalup Line and bus connections at Warwick.
• All trains stop at Warwick Station and connections are available to at least 17 other bus routes for passengers whose journey does not involve the train.  

Route 467: Whitfords Station to Joondalup Station - route extension, route change, frequency and operating hours upgrade

• The 467 will be upgraded to a full time daily service with off peak services replacing the former 469 service through Wanneroo, Hocking and Pearsall.
• Peak period frequency will improve from every 20 - 30 minutes to every 10 - 15 minutes. Peak services will start earlier and run later.
• The service will be extended north to serve Ashby & Tapping on route to Joondalup Station.
• Residents in these areas will be served by regular public transport for the fi rst time connected to rail at Joondalup and Whitfords and shopping / community facilities in the Wanneroo Town Centre and Joondalup City Centre.
• The route will be modified to operate a more easterly path through Wanneroo to ensure service is retained for Belgrade Village. Services have been withdrawn from Civic Drive and Celestine Street, however residents in this area are a short distance from the higher frequency 468 service also operating between Whitfords Station and Joondalup Station.
• The route will also be modified to operate a more direct path through Woodvale operating along Woodvale Drive in lieu of Duffy Terrace. This route change will reduce delays incurred turning right onto Whitfords Avenue and speed up the journey to Whitfords Station.

Route 468: Whitfords Station to Joondalup Station – no changes

There will be no changes to this service.

Route 469: Whitfords Station to Wangara - Route truncation and rationalisation of operating hours

The 469 will be truncated to only operate between Whitfords Station and Wangara. The route will no longer serve Pearsall, Hocking or Wanneroo as these areas will now be served by the upgraded and more direct 467 service.

The service will operate Monday to Friday with a 30 minute service in peak (previously operated every 20 minutes to every 45 minutes in peak) and every 60 minutes during the day (similar to current level of service). Weekend services have been withdrawn due to extremely poor patronage, however weekend services are retained on Wanneroo Road with the 346 & 468 services.
