It appears to be Perth Trainstation (not the Underground).

The system is occasionally tested this way to ensure Staff and the Public start to become aware of how to react should a "Real" need arise.

Ahhh - thanks heaps for that :)

C'mon Kilmo we all know its just a tempremental alarm that goes off whenever it feels like it several times a month.

It goes off so often that everyone, even Joe Public is already fully trained in the evacuation process!

Transperth trains on all lines are currently delayed due to a test emergency evacuation of Perth, Perth Underground and Esplanade stations. Services have now resumed, but passengers should expect delays and some services may be cancelled.

It was a training exercise to see how emergency services could respond to a situation as this case was 'Suspicious Bag' and is directly related to prepare for CHOGM.

Perth Station, Perth Underground and Esplande were evacuated.
I've closed the door!
