Merge

I have merged the two generations of A-series train as per the discussions on Talk:Transperth Second Generation A-series train. David Arthur 18:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

This was a full-content paste merger conducted as per WP:MERGE, with acknowledgement of the content copied from Transperth Second Generation A-series train for GFDL purposes, not a cut-and-paste move; the move was conducted using the standard move tool. David Arthur 19:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Cite error

Would someone please fix the cite error on this page? I have tried but nothing I do seems to help.--Klltr (talk) 05:31, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Contradiction in In service section

In the "In service" section, it states that the Yanchep line was serviced by A-series trains until late-2016, but in the succeeding sentences it says they still operate on the Joondalup line, which is seemingly contradictory as the Joondalup line was renamed to the Yanchep line in 2024. Some rewording for clarity may be needed here. Neonalig (talk) 08:31, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Set 38 withdrawal

We are NOT causing any confusion by making people think that it is still in service because it is not. Aidennbaker (talk) 15:34, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

So we need a reliable source that mentions the train has been withdrawn for us to say it on Wikipedia. Steelkamp (talk) 16:52, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Didn't Lachlan do that? Aidennbaker (talk) 17:12, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

A Facebook post isn't a reliable source and that post didn't fully verify the claims made. Fork99 (talk) 23:56, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I've learned to be wary of unsourced claims that gunzels make. I've seen them previously claim that after this incident where an A-series train ran into an unwired section and the pantograph was damage, that the train would be withdrawn. That train was repaired and is now back up and running. Steelkamp (talk) 02:10, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Haha that reminds me, I can't remember on which article, might have been from the eastern states, someone claimed a particular train had blown up in some explosion and cited a Facebook post. Probably an April Fools post/some sort of hoax, I don't remember. If a train blew up, I'd imagine there'd be a lot more news coverage than from some train enthusiasts.

I will get set 38 retired sticker photo and do it myself. It clearly has a sticker saying it's retired. Aidennbaker (talk) 04:19, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

This would be original research, which is also not allowed on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, even if you know something to be true, it has to be written about in reliable sources to be reported on Wikipedia. Fork99 (talk) 04:27, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Please go to Claisebrook depot and take the photo if you really want to see for yourself Aidennbaker (talk) 07:38, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

It's on the non-damaged carriage at the front Aidennbaker (talk) 07:39, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Still original research. PEPSI697 (💬) (📝) 08:48, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

I WILL make sure it ain't Aidennbaker (talk) 12:11, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
