Re: ## General Public Transport thread

Here's a shot of what appears to be high intensity LED lighting which is being installed at pedestrian crossings on the Glenelg line.

Re: ## General Public Transport thread

Here's Flexity 114 on its way to Adelaide, parked at Tailem Bend just before sunset on Friday the 25th of May 2012. Unlike previous deliveries, they didn't press on to the Mt Barker truck stop. Delivery should be at the Entertainment Centre in the small hours of Saturday. http://i154.photobucket.com...

Re: ## General Public Transport thread

BillD - when you say returning from storage, do you mean that they will be operational again? I was led to believe that they were off the rails for good. I don't know Shuz. As far as I knew they were on the way out. But why would they have paid to bring them back if there was no (perhaps long range...

Travelling along North Tce on Saturday (18th June), I observed surveyors working around the single-track section near the Morphett St bridge. I had to keep moving with the traffic but saw a theodolite on the footpath, and one of the guys was holding the usual reflector-post on one of the the rails. ...
