We present three families of graphs which admit quantum walks with interesting dynamics either in the continuous time walk, or in the discrete time walk for appropriate selections of coin and initial conditions. These dynamics are either periodicity, perfect state transfer, or very high fidelity state transfer. These families are modifications of families known not to exhibit periodicity or perfect state transfer in general. The robustness of the dynamics is tested by varying the initial state and by adding decoherence. The perfect state transfer is found to be very robust to small disturbances. The families of graphs found to exhibit useful properties are generalisations of small graphs. By varying the strength of edges in each family, interpolation between the families can be carried out, enabling further understanding of the factors affecting perfect state transfer. The perfect state transfer in these families is found to be destroyed by this variation, indicating that the transport strongly depends on the graph structure. A brief summary of other small graphs investigated but found not to exhibit such properties is included for completeness.
