we basically need a tunnel from torrens park/brownhill creek up to stirling/crafers and bypass all the blackwood crap lol Untitled.png As simple as it is to draw lines on a map, as stated previously, trains need a gradient of 1 in 40 to travel safely at a decent speed. Sure, the gradient can be ste...

To be realistic, (rather than practical or logical), I think we all know that the next level crossing project(s) announced before March 2022 will be politically motivated - either in a safe Liberal seat or a marginal seat where this sort of action might tip the extra few hundred votes over needed to...

Amendment has been lodged to change part of the use to education establishment. I think that confirms flinders uni as the tenant. Having the new direct rail link in place between Flinders and ARS has made this decision easier for Flinders Uni to go ahead with their long plan of establishing a major...

If the government built the rail line component of the Northern Connector, they could pretty much get rid of this part of the freight line, which would make things simpler in terms of gradients and space. I think most of here would agree with that. The proposed ARTC rail connection from Dry Creek t...

127 level crossings on the Adelaide Metro rail and tram network, the State Government has identified 31 of those as high risk and warrant priority to alter or remove. Now that Hove is off the list for the time being, we would assume the $170m will be allocated to another level crossing(s) – wonder w...

Still no electrical wiring strung yet through North Adelaide, considering this was the first section to have masts installed a year ago things seem to be running slowly with this project. In the photos attached, the wire you see in between the gantries is just a steel cable - I am assuming is just ...

It doesn't really say where these new town houses will be. If they are further away from the train station and more towards Chief Street, then I have no problem with that. If they are building town houses next to Bowden Station, that's another thing. The next release to developers, and the townhous...

This may have an impact directly related to this topic. ARTC have submitted a request to Infrastructure SA for review. Do we read between the lines that ARTC don't see any short-medium term solution to a different route (i.e they don't see either a new north rail bypass or new south rail bypass as b...

My idea behind including Short South as an option for the ARTC line was it's shorter than the 2010 study's Southern Alignment and the GlobeLink study listed Short South as the most feasible of all options explored. Yes, it only investigated a road route, but if a new M1 were to be built along the S...

... Beyond Bridgewater, realigning the railway onto the SEF median could provide stations at Verdun Interchange and Mount Barker Interchange with park n rides and full bus-train interchanges, with optional smaller "local" stations at Echunga Road for Hahndorf township and Bald Hills Road ...

Wanted to re-post this from the Adelaide Metro Rail forum to ensure the bigger picture is not lost. Even if there is a detailed review of 'how' to make the Mt Barker service happen, it would still be need reviewing by Infrastructure SA as to where it would fit in the priority list... by Bob » Wed Ma...

The simple message should have been a vision something along these lines: We want a frequent passenger service from Mt Barker RS to Adelaide RS with a journey time of one hour including a stop at Belair to connect with Adelaide Metro services in addition to stops at 2-3 other locations YTBD between ...

There was a part in SATAG's presentation citing past travel time for SteamRanger services from Adelaide Railway Station to Mount Barker in 47 minutes. It can be done. Sorry to spoil their party but no train has ever achieved 47 minutes from ARS to Mt Barker, not in SAR days nor since, and is imposs...
