Mclarty - Brand - Launched new Australind Service, Perth to Bunbury.
R Court - Approved Planned , Legislated new Perth Mandurah Line.
Barnett - Extended Joondalup Lines , installed new Stations on Mandurah lines. Building Belmont Airport Forrestfield line.

Also Swan I take it unlike the vast majority of WA people you ONLY use trains, in case you have to read my post I said TRANSPORTATION, since WW II the overwhelming mode of transport for most WA people has been ROAD.
Coalition have built the state in that regard.
Brand - Mitchell - Kwinana Freeways - not to mention others.

And they have done well with Bus Services, introduced the new link buses in 1979, and built the new state of the art underground bus station as part of city link project.

Based on your own comments re rail links in Perth built by the Liberal Party - QED.

But then Labor added to the bloodymindedly politics by blocking the end of the Thornlie Station,to prevent any attempt of a Future Liberal Givernment to shut their option down from the City and start rebuilding the Mandurah line,Dickie's way.It was stupidity at it's greatest,because the horse had bolted anyway,but they were loath to gave any credit given for directly linking the Thornlie/Armadale lined with the new Mandurah line.

Labor gets the credit it deserves for the Mandurah line,but both the Major Parties deserve a kick up the backside for playing stupid games.It still doesn't change the fact that the Liberal Party record on Metro Rail since 1979,gas been poor.

Their record from the Second World War to now is poor despite Bazza'a attempt to rewrite history.

Bazza WE were discussing Perth passenger rail development. What has "WA inc" to do with THAT discussion? Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The only rationale is that you have conceded that the Liberal Party's record on development of rail transport in Perth is virtually non-existent.

Politics used to be simple when I was a fanatical follower. Liberal would gain power cut debt and slash services, run everything into the ground. Labor would get in repair the damage then keep on spending like drunken sailors. Barnett is a rare bird he has done both. Slashed the guts out of everything, spent recklessly at the same time and put us in the shit.

Actually when you asked me about post war development in was TRANSPORT , no mention of Perth, and by the way I didn't know WA stopped at Bassendean Oval there is a entire state outside of the metro area..

Bazza how difficult was it for you to understand and I quote "The ONLY CHANCE Perth has of getting a decent rail network to cater for the projected increase in Perth's population is for us to elect an ALP government next March"?

With respect to post-Second World War it was because that is when the Liberal Party gained government for the first time.

Put as simpe as possible for you the Liberal Party's record WITH RESPECT TO PERTH'S PASSENGER RAIL TRANSPORT is appalling and virtually non-existent.

Bazza you can indulge in as many verbal gymnastics as you like but Barnett's BROKEN PROMISES with respect to Ellenbrook in concert with their financial incompetence is enough in and of itself to send Emperor Barnett into political oblivion.

I'm waiting Bazza.

Swan the Barnett Government has a shocking 2016 year.Hes got no chance unless he picks up all of Hansons preferences. Dont know about you but i dont think Hanson doing that well in Federal polotics.Has voted for the LNP 8 out of 10 times,80%.Shes a close to the government.As Labour are to the Greens.

Why the obsession with rail? given the vast majority of Perth and WA people travel by road and the entire state is reliant on road as a far more important asset I would of thought the ALP are actually miles behind on transport infrastructure. esp in the regions. Btw Rail Patronage has collapsed in last 2 yrs.
