Transperth was allocated funding to implement a bus network to support new train stations at Yanchep, Eglinton and Alkimos with the opening of the Yanchep Line. 

As Yanchep National Park represents an area of low public transport demand and with the focus on the new bus services to the rapidly expanding residential area, it was not deemed feasible to operate a new bus route to the national park. 

The opening of the Yanchep extension has required Transperth to redesign the surrounding bus network to provide access to the new stations. 

Route 490 and 491 were withdrawn and replaced by multiple routes which feed into the new stations providing connectivity to a range of current and future planned schools. The need to transfer at the nearest bus or train station is common throughout the metropolitan area as it maximises journey options for passengers and ensures equitable access to public transport for the community. 

Yanchep is expected to grow significantly in the future, the design for Yanchep Station has been future proofed to ensure that there is sufficient capacity as development progresses and new bus routes are required to service growing residential areas.   

The alignment for Route 483, operating between Clarkson and Butler Station has been modified as a result of concerns associated with the unprotected right turn from Hughie Edwards Dr onto Marmion Av.  

SmartRider ticketing data demonstrates that the vast majority of passengers who currently board on Hughie Edwards Dr will still be able to board the Route 483 bus service as it will now deviate to RAAFA Estate in Merriwa during the off peak, seven days a week. 

Passengers boarding on Marmion Av will continue to be served with New Route 482. 
 

Yanchep and Alkimos stations will be staffed by Customer Service staff in the morning and Security staff in the afternoons.

Eglinton Station will not be staffed at this stage.
