News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

[1NEEDS2POST]

Talk about a staggering statistic.

Rail commitments for the rest of the decade.

Now tell us the number of km of track to be laid in each city. $/km the Port Dock extension would be cheap compared to what's happening in the other cities. Adelaide has the most potential for low $/km projects, such as the Aldinga or Concordia extensions.

That doesnt seem right. The Tram Grade Sep program alone is a $400m 50:50 state/feds contribution. not that i dont want even more rail investment, but the numbers dont seem to align.

Grade separation programs aren't really an investment in public transport, though. They benefit road users more so than tram patrons.

Do Victoria's numbers in the graph above include budget allocated towards their grade separation project?

Once the north-south motorway is complete, it will become more attractive than Portrush Road to get from the South Eastern Freeway to Wingfield/Port Adelaide/Osborne.

That is likely to prompt further upgrades to Cross Road if an alternate route from Mount Barker/Stirling is not provided. Grade separation of the ARTC line might then become a Federal Transport imperative. I think it's too far down to be able to thing of reconfiguring roads and providing an emergency truck stop as part of a new bridge though.
