The Western Australian Government Railways Commission was formed on 18 December 2000 to take over the non-freight operations of Westrail, following these being sold to Australian Western Railroad. It was the owner of the non-metropolitan rail network, that was leased to Australian Western Railroad, and responsible for regional passenger services, The Australind, AvonLink and The Prospector as well as regional coach services.[1][2]
It ceased on 30 June 2003 with its functions transferred to the Public Transport Authority.[3]
