I've just updated the adjacent stations module and the "Services by platforms" sections for all of the Pakenham line stations. Hopefully I haven't missed any instances of Pakenham needing to be changed to East Pakenham!
I've gone ahead and updated the list of railway stations article just a few things
I've gone ahead and requested a photo for the new station to add to both the list and seperate stations artcle
When the station was in the future section of the list of stations article there was a bus icon i removed it for now as there are not yet buses serving the station
There also needs to be a better source for the East Pakenham opening date as the source I used on the list of railway stations article was published before the station opened not after

Western Australian bus services are inadequately edited upon, and it is simply a process of editors who are keen to actually find the information and actually edit the articles. The
https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/our-services/transregional main source of the overview of the PTA transregional services, and from a quick overview, the problem with regional bus services in any state is most are a mess and not regularly updated as they should.(For instance Burnie in
/info/en/?search=Metro_Tasmania shows indication of bus services not otherwise identified or work on, as far as I can see) It would be very interesting for the larger transport australia project to have a review of such services in each state that has them, and compare quality or general state of articles.

I think merging into a new page on
TransRegional would be best, where all TransRegional brands can be covered. I have created
Draft:TransRegional to work on this. When that gets moved to mainspace, the existing TransRegional articles can be merged into that on a case-by-case basis. Some of the existing articles, namely
TransBunbury, might be able stand on their own though without merging.
Regarding the operators, the discrepancy you are seeing is because the bus contracts are retendered every ten years or so. The
PTA website says that TransGoldfields is run by Swan Transit.
This article on Busnews.com.au from 2023 says that Swan Transit began operating in Kalgoorlie two years before.

Strong objection to merging - the regional bus history is not necessarily 'case-by-case' at all - all of the regional bus operations, if properly written up are adequately notable each and every one - it is simply not an easy task to offset the urge to merge - the material is there, it is just the time and effort of editor(s) to wean themselves of online materials...

Also WA is not an orphan, regional bus services in Australia are poorly written up - and could do with lots of what is apparently not available - active editors in the area.

Proposal for major improvements to
Hitachi (Australian train) involving image placements in separate sections and removal of the
Gallery section
Hi all, I am currently proposing on what to do with the images and the Gallery section on
Hitachi (Australian train). My thought is to place some of the images already used in the Gallery section to different sections and sub-sections of that article. The reason is because Gallery is likely not needed in that article and I think the images have a better section to place them on. What are your thoughts about the changes? Keep Gallery or move images to different sections of that article? Thanks!
