After first being promised in 2008, the rail line Ellenbrook has been waiting for has finally been delivered, with the brand new METRONET Ellenbrook Line officially opened on the 8th of December 2024. In this video we explore the new line in full, starting the day on the VIP C-Series service from Morley Station to Ellenbrook, making stops at all the stations in between. We then take a quick listen to the official speeches at Ellenbrook Station before taking the full journey down to Bayswater on the new line on a B-series. After this, we go back through all the stations with a quick look around and a few train clips. (This will be done much more in depth in the coming station videos in the upcoming weeks.) Finally, we end by seeing the last ever 955 bus service to run, which was the bus route connecting Ellenbrook for all this time until the rail line opened, as well as the last ever bus to service Henley Brook Bus Station at 8:51PM.
