Tomorrow another historic occasion is due to occur

Railcar 4001 is due to be tested from Seaford to Brighton presumably to test the electric trains past Noarlunga and to test the large section of electrical infrastructure of the line that went live yesterday

The first trains have arrived in Oaklands since the shutdown early this year. Two test trains came through the Goodwood underpass and reversed over the Oaklands crossover to return to the city. I was told by a friendly official on the platform that there may have been a third planned. The train at ...

How is it that in 7 months with no trains and stuff-all track work that they are having signalling issues when they had all that time? :roll: To be fair they had to wait for construction of the underpass t...

Belair Line reopening date to be announced next week

I am confused over the budget figures for rail electrification: are they spending $150m to electrify the short 10km distance just Dry Creek in 3 years? and $160m to electrify the longer 30km distance to Noarlunga in just 6 months? no mention of anymore new trains between now and 2016? :?
