The ๐€๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ train service has resumed after almost three years, featuring a $160 million modern fleet that replaces the old railcars from 1987, enhancing the connection between Perth and Bunbury with state-of-the-art regional passenger trains.

Built by a local WA company (Alstom) in Bellevue the trains are modern and provide better accessibility to the community. There are 144 seats with six more spaces for wheelchair users and bicycle storage. Cyclists - 14 bikes per train can be stored, with booking available at all stops!

The Alstom facility in Bellevue creates over 200 direct manufacturing jobs and many more through local suppliers. It is part of the $1.3 billion WA Railcar Program for METRONET, aimed at rebuilding local rail manufacturing capacity and ensuring long-term economic benefits and supply chain sustainability for WA.

Interesting feature: the names for all four trains are; Marley, Kwilena, Koombana and Linda, and were chosen from input from members of the public.

Trip duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with the frequency planned to double by early 2027 as more new trains join the fleet.

At Key Source Rail, we recognize that our commercial success is deeply connected to our environmental and social responsibilities and although we arenโ€™t legally required to meet Australiaโ€™s new ESG Mandates, doing the right thing isnโ€™t about checkboxes for us. It is about our values. We choose to measure our footprint, support our community, and operate transparently because sustainable business is simply better business. We are proud to play our part in building a cleaner, fairer future - by choice.

To ensure sustainable long-term value for our clients, partners, and communities, we align our operations with the robust Environmental, Social, and Governance Mandate framework.

This is how we minimize our footprint, empower our workforce, and maintain absolute corporate integrity. The following sections detail our strategic commitments, goals, and continuous progress across these three critical pillars

๐ŸŒŸ Environmental: Sustainability in the rail sector isn't just about switching to lower-emission locomotives. To truly follow modern ESG mandates, we need to look at the circular economy of the infrastructure we leave in the ground. Every level crossing, pedestrian walkway, and track upgrade is an opportunity to build a greener footprint. Traditional concrete and asphalt road crossings take a heavy toll on the environment, require massive civil footprints to install, and crack under the pressure of heavy traffic.

Through our exclusive partnership with , we supply high-impact, modular rubber level crossings and drainage systems made entirely from 100% recycled rubber tyres. Not only do these systems divert thousands of tyres from landfill - they can also be installed in a fraction of the time compared to concrete. This minimises track closures and actively dampens noise in urban areas as Perth's suburbs expand.

We also offer Rosehill Railโ€™s Rubber Anti-Trespass Panels, which are proven to reduce track trespassing by up to 78%. This innovative system directly supports the industry's strict public safety mandates. While the panels are built from 100% recycled rubber to ensure long-term durability, their modular design allows for rapid on-site screw-down installation over any existing surface. This significantly minimises track closure windows and maintenance downtime compared to pouring concrete alternatives.

Also, by supplying ultra-hard, tungsten carbide-protected tamping tines and wear plates, we dramatically extend the lifespan of maintenance tools. This limits frequent machinery deployments, lowering the operator's fuel consumption and Scope 1 emissions.

๐ŸŒŸ Social: We base our social pillar of the ESG Mandate into our daily operations through our support of staff within the Fair Workplace framework, onsite team events (e.g. Harmony Day) and our social club outings. We also support community involvement and local charity events.

We feel our social obligations are an important part of our daily operations, and we are mindful to focus on how our actions impact our team, suppliers, local communities and supply chain.

Examples include:
๐Ÿ”นWorkplace Wellbeing: regular team get-togethers for community initiatives (e.g. RUOK Day), celebrating birthdays, special life events and offering morning teas or luncheons to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
๐Ÿ”น Community Safety & Support: Partnering with community groups and charities to deliver mental health initiatives (such as Menโ€™s Health Week) and donate to other charities we support (e.g. Canteen/Bandana Day).
๐Ÿ”น Supply Chain Ethics: Enforcing policies and establishing supplier codes of conduct to ensure fair labour practices throughout the supply cycle.

๐ŸŒŸ Governance: We hold an ISO 9001:2015 certification, meaning our quality management systems seamlessly integrate into tier-1 procurement frameworks. This provides the verifiable component data required for audited sustainability reporting under Australiaโ€™s AASB standards.

This is what the next track of rail looks like: tougher infrastructure, faster installations, and a massive win for corporate sustainability goals.

Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who has followed our 4-Part Series.

The Track SAFE Foundation's annual Rail Safety Week (held Aug 10โ€“16) successfully involved over 150 organizations across Australia and New Zealand. While long-term statistical data on the reduction of accidents from this year's campaign is not yet available, it did achieve wide community and media support.

๐™’๐™๐™ฎ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š ๐™จ๐™ค ๐™ž๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ?

The annual Rail Safety Week campaign is vital because train collisions and near-misses are entirely preventable, yet they remain a major safety concern. Here are several key reasons:

๐ŸšจTo Save Lives: It directly targets the source of roughly 83 rail-related deaths and dozens of severe injuries across Australia each year.
๐ŸšจTo Combat Complacency: Over 1,000 near misses happen around Australia annually, proving that many road users and pedestrians still take high-risk shortcuts or are distracted (often by their mobiles).
๐ŸšจFills Infrastructure Gaps: With thousands of regional "passive" crossings with no boom gates or flashing lights, public education is the primary line of defense against injuries or fatalities.
๐ŸšจProtects Rail Workers: Beyond saving the public, the week highlights the severe psychological trauma that train drivers and track crews experience after witnessing a near-miss or fatal impact.
๐ŸšจReduces Economic Chaos: Level-crossing incidents create massive network shutdowns, causing millions of dollars in freight delays and disrupting thousands of daily commuters.

๐™‡๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ-๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™ข ๐™‰๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ž๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ž๐™—๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ

Australiaโ€™s rail network faces ongoing safety challenges and with the recorded average of approximately 1,000 near-misses every year, this ongoing campaign is critical. The near-miss incidents are highly concentrated, with Victoria (44%) and New South Wales (30%) accounting for nearly three-quarters of the national total.

The trauma of a rail incident extends far beyond the physical crash site, leaving a lasting psychological toll on train drivers and track crews. Drivers experience intense stress because heavy trains cannot swerve and require up to 2 kilometres to stop in an emergency and crews are forced to watch a collision unfold with no control over the outcome. Witnessing a fatality or a near-hit triggers high rates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), severe anxiety, and depression among rail workers.

The distressing information above is why we will continue to support the Track SAFE Foundation's Rail Safety Week campaign every year.
