this logic is really special :roll: the reason they steal it is because its scarce and has high resale value... and EV's are going to make it even scarcer you can recycle plastic too, but they're not stealing that Thank you. It's not that much harder to make new plastic than to recycle plastic, and...

I definitely agree with abc's anti-colonial sentiment, but would say the Olympics is heading in this direction as well. They are not economically feasible for most countries let alone cities. why are you misquoting my posts and adding your political views for an unrelated topic? I was summarizing t...

Have noticed this when driving over it, I’m the bridge would easily be 50 years old? I’m not sure the cost would be but might a tunnel might prove a better fit for this section of road.

its not that old
I think it was built in the 90's

1986

Anyone know what all the shipping containers in the vacant sites are for? Are they a temporary noise reduction wall or something else?

But the Gawler rail line has yet to be electrified according to Google Maps.

And the new Oaklands Station is just partially excavated in the Google imagery.

Where about on the port river will this be?

E of Port River between Bower Rd and the rail line.

Are the numbers for individual railcars or does a number such as 4029 refer to a whole set of 3? One number for each train set (of 3) Unusual. Since the 3 cars are semi-permanently coupled, the units are given a single number. Between the cars the couplers are not automatic and there are traction c...

A quick update on progress, the Bridge Beams for the overpass of Tatachilla/Maslin Beach Roads were installed at the beginning of the month. See the "Main South Road Action Group" Facebook Page for a selection of Photos. Starting yesterday, the First Bridge Beams for the new Bridge over P...

Is there any indication as to when the pedestrian crossings at North Adelaide, Ovingham and Islington will be switched on? And further to that, when the Gawler line will 100% be electric? Sorry if this has been posted previously but can't find any info. The Ovingham N crossing had been scheduled fo...

Thank you for a clear assessment of my question: where does the carbon come from to make new steel from old iron and low carbon hematite? AFR said it won’t be from coking coal. The question you raise regarding the proposed developments at Whyalla is a valid one. The proposals for Whyalla are twofol...

Are two more depots really needed for what's basically more or less just one tram line? Where there any new depots planned for the AdeLINK expansion? The two more depots you speak of are as I understand: (1) temporary stabling and minor servicing facilities required to run trams in CBD during the M...

Wasn't it mentioned earlier in the thread that this project includes a new depot at Hindmarsh or Thebarton? Perhaps that will be completed before the line is severed.

Wasn't that in relation to the Morphett Rd overpass which would prevent access to the existing depot?

Does anyone know why they couldn't keep the trams running to Glenelg (with 2 separate routes obviously) with a feeder bus between South Rd and the Morphetville Racecourse?

Jon Whelan didn't completely rule it out in this morning's interview.

Sounds to me that the entire tram network will be closed during the works as the South Road overpass is also going to be partially rebuilt to accommodate the North South Motorway. A media release on the project website speaks of a section of the line being closed. Jon Whelan, DIT CEO, was interview...

I don't understand the reason as to why someone would manoeuver onto the bridge, and then want to ascend down to the train station. Makes as much sense as the current inefficient road network, and the firing ranges in the country, where two oncoming missiles (usually cars or trucks miss by a tiny m...
