The station at Kelmscott on the Perth to Armadale line is exactly like
that. Almost as good are
most of the stations on Perth's Northern Suburbs line. Most of these
stations have bus stops and
kiss and ride bays immediately above the platforms. For those that don't
know, this line runs
for most of its length along the median strip of the mitchell Freeway.
It is nice to see the
trains able to run faster than the traffic.
