Adele to stop traffic in Perth
Superstar Adele has hit Perth and we're being warned to expect a commuter nightmare as fans make their way to Domain Stadium on Tuesday night. Vision: Today Perth News.
"We've got more than 120 extra train services and then the existing services will be bolstered so that means that instead of being a two car-set, there will be four car-sets."

People who catch the Fremantle line are asked to avoid the service completely if possible, with it expected to be the heaviest hit by the concert.
