The Ellenbrook Line in Perth, a 21-kilometer rail expansion, has officially opened after 16 years of planning, connecting the north-eastern suburbs to the city in just 30 minutes. Funded by state and federal governments, the $1.65 billion project includes five new stations and has faced delays and cost overruns. The project is expected to boost local opportunities but has raised concerns among some residents about changes to bus routes.
