Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The suburbs of northern Melbourne stop 22,23 kms north of the CBD but Adelaide seems to want to challenge Perth for the title of "Longest lowest density suburban sprawl in the world". Mickelham is are 40ish km away from the cbd. What decade are you getting this 22km figure from? South you...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
So let me get this straight, Mount Barker has a population of 40,000 and the state government have rebuked every suggestion of an electrified rail service to the centre, meanwhile Kouts is talking out of his arse about a possible rail service to Riverlea, so long as the population of the area grows...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Considering that Balhannah and Hahndorf are at very similar elevations above sea level, that is a very steep railway from Bridgewater to Hahndorf.

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Rail access to Hahndorf actually makes a lot of sense, so long as it is part of a bigger project to connect Mount Barker. The fact is that Hahndorf is a major tourist destination, and the flow of people to and from the town are far in excess of what you would expect considering its relatively small...

Not far off, and a park-and-ride at Ambleside may be good for passengers from Balhannah, Oakbank , Woodside and even Lobethal areas, if the service is fast enough.SBD wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 1:50 pmThe former Ambleside railway station was about 3km from the centre of Hahndorf, so not quite to Hahndorf, but not far off.

For all intents and purposes, it is, though.ozisnowman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 12:14 pmHmmm - Tom im pretty sure that Mt Barker is not within Metropolitan Adelaide
There's no way you're going to get a train to Hahndorf mate!ozisnowman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 12:14 pmIt should be a fast train and should be going to Stirling, Harndorf, Mt Barker, Monarto and Murray Bridge.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
One of my earliest concepts with the Gawler line going through the CBD to Unley and onto Millswood. With also new subways running from the northeast to south and southeast. Adelaide Metro System 11 Cheers It is a very nice concept. Unfortunately, if they ever go underground, they'll probably avoid ...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
What's lacking is not just a population - it's a regional population that supports regional cities that aren't just commuter dormitories of Adelaide, nor just large country towns providing local services to the surrounding farms. Mount Gambier, Murray Bridge, Whyalla, Port Lincoln etc have had thei...

Re: Sir Donald Bradman Drv / Marion Rd Upgrade
As others have pointed out, the current bridges were built in the mid 80's. The old bridges were to the south of the current ones and I think that anyone who remembers them will tell you they most definitely sagged, were badly dilapidated and were about to fall down. Yes, I remember them exactly as...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Is that corridor (Currie/Grenfell) wide enough to be the major bus through-route and handle trams as well? There is currently only one lane each way for traffic, which is occasionally used by busses as well, when they need to pass a bus that is stopped in the bus lane to pick up or drop off passenge...

A decent newsagent, maybe incorporating a post office.
A pharmacist.
A bottle shop.
Stores that sell stuff people want to pick up on their way home.

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)
Personally i think a contemporary museum dedicated to Adelaide / South Australian history would be best - and this could also combine the aboriginal history too along with the architecture museum which is currently crammed into a tiny room at the uni. Something with a more broader appeal to more pe...
