It is a very nice concept. Unfortunately, if they ever go underground, they'll probably avoid tunneling under the Torrens. why? Its only about 3 feet deep if you ever seen it drained not that we'll ever see an underground line anywhere in Adelaide in our lifetimes Sure but how much water is underne...

if you'd ever wondered by a Qatar Airways 777 flies into Adelaide... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6btzCPi26to Yes, Qatar flies into Adelaide. Saw this video a month ago and thought most of you on this forum knew the reason why this flight exists. That actual video doesn't explain the reason clea...

This is a failure by governments. Everything that's done is looked at/approached as stand alone. There is no thought beyond that project, that piece of roadway. How many times do you see brand new roads, or footpaths, ripped up? Too often in this state. ... Can you provide instances of brand new ro...

This is a failure by governments. Everything that's done is looked at/approached as stand alone. There is no thought beyond that project, that piece of roadway. How many times do you see brand new roads, or footpaths, ripped up? Too often in this state. Why isn't there some sort of vision or master...

In reference to the plans you posted, it's unclear to me whether the blue line is below or above ground... See this version the orange line runs above ground. This one is similar to the one advocated by the lobby group. It goes underground (under the Keswick creek drain) or just under street level....

Using Keswick Creek as a right of way for a tram has many drawbacks that I think rule it out:

But what about the advantages? Take a look at my post here in the Adelaide Metro Trains thread.

Playing a little catch up on this topic... [...] The recent piece done by InDaily regarding the inadequacies of Adelaide's PT and more specifically our rail network showed the preferred route by the lobbying body for getting a tram to Adelaide Airport, which involved a spur line from the Port Road/J...

Whether you're flying in Y or J, you won't notice any difference, it's exactly the same hard product. People say the A350 is quieter, but I've flown both many times and honestly cant tell the difference in noise. If there is one major gripe it's the 787 config; more pax and less lavatories. Anyhow....

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.



Cheers

I love all of these! [...] I've got more...The thing is when you start you don't stop coming up with new ideas or concepts. I didn't add those that had the line from Ovingham go all the way to Unley and onto Millswood. Add to these one or two more cross town subways and you'd have good coverage. I ...

Now this is the sort of intersection upgrade I can get behind on! Doglegs should be the focus to improve traffic flow. Not silly ones like the SDBD/Marion Road and Magill/Portrush Road ones which are an absolute waste of money. I don't read all the posts on this forum but just happened to come acro...

And the one that is probably the cheapest option with three subways in the CBD with the Adelaide Airport light rail to Parklands terminal and Adelaide Railway Station.



I have many more options but I won't bore you guys anymore.

Cheers

A variation of the previous one with the Adelaide Airport light rail looping in the CBD.

The Adelaide Airport light rail loops in the CBD with stations (not shown) at the RAH, Light Square, Whitmore Square and Adelaide Parklands terminal.

This one with the O-bahn converted to light rail from TTP to Airport and underground from the East Parklands through the CBD until Richmond.
