Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

More battery technology moving to stage 1 of a small pilot plant, with the potential of something truly game changing if the technology is proven and can lower the price of storage. From Renew Economy 1414 plans two “gigawatt hour” silicon storage plants in S.A. http://reneweconomy.com.au/wp-content...

Not really, the Entertainment Centre section of the tram may have gone down Grange Road instead

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

No the loop will be a separate tram route......the light blue route in the map below, even though I think the southern edge of the loop will now be 2 streets south.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Trams from Glenelg will either go to the Adelaide Railway Station or Festival Plaza. Tram frequencies along North Terrace in peak hours would be every 7/8 minutes. Surely not.......any tram that turns left into North terrace will terminate at West Terrace (supposedly about to be renamed Royal Adela...

[COM] Re: Torrens Junction Underpass

Grade separation doesn't have to be a "sky train".....it can be an underpass like Park Terrace and the proposal for Oaklands. I hope the good citizens of Croydon will not complain in the future if train frequencies increase to the point where they will always be waiting at the crossing.......

[COM] Re: Torrens Junction Underpass

They really should have gone all the way to Woodville Road with the grade separation.......if there was some sort of proper master plan regarding the train line and the areas around the station, then this piecemeal approach would not be happening.

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

So... what is the optimal time for them to run between now and the election to demonstrate the value of having them, without invalidating the desire to have a high proportion of renewable energy? Any time they are needed......my guess is during continuous days of 35C and above, Monday to Friday (we...

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network

It would still help if the local cops devoted some of their patrol time to the train station.

People will feel safer (and more likely to use public transport) if they see cops actively taking an interest in people coming and going out of the train station.

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network

The barriers should really be in use in use 18 hours a day, even if there is no staff to monitor compliance...... Their mere physical presence will deter some fare evaders (but obviously not all) and a few random visits from the local police at various hours of the early morning and late evening wou...

Another proposal for a solar and wind farm (with storage) at Port Augusta! When I wrote a list of new wind and solar farms a couple of days ago I had not heard of this project. To be constructed in 2 stages, with the storeage component coming in the end build. From Renew Economy DP Energy trumps Gup...
