During the shutdown, Train Replacement Route 901 will operate between Bassendean and Midland. 

Since buses operate on roads instead of dedicated tracks, they take longer and are affected by traffic. During the shutdown, we suggest that passengers allow extra travel time. 

Train Replacement Bus Stops

Train replacement bus stops are recognisable by the red and white decals with “Train Replacement” marked on the stop. 

During the shutdown, there will be changes to train replacement stop locations at Bassendean and Midland stations. Station Access Maps for Bassendean and Midland stations will be uploaded in January 2026.

For all other stations, check our Station Access Maps or speak to one of our friendly staff.

Fares

Please note that normal ticketing applies to all train replacement bus services. 

Bikes and Scooters

Due to restricted space, bicycles are not permitted on Transperth buses, including train replacement services.

Manual scooters are permitted on bus services at any time. They are defined as those that are powered by foot, are manual and are not propelled by a motor. 

Motorised scooters are not permitted on bus services unless they are folded up and placed in an appropriately designed, fit for purpose carry bag. They are defined as powered by an electric motor, not fuel or other combustible liquids.

Please note that during peak times, PTA staff have the discretion to restrict passengers with an e-scooter travelling if they identify any safety concerns such as overcrowding. The PTA advises passengers using e-scooters to avoid planning their journey in the peak flow direction during peak hours to minimise potential delays.

Travel times will be longer, so we recommended you plan ahead and consider alternative travel and work arrangements where possible.

Students travelling on the Midland Line between Bassendean and Midland will need to catch a train replacement bus to commute to and from school.
