And if you want to hear a bit more coherent babbling, I made another video about the project ...

I wasn’t sure where to post this within the Transport and Infrastructure section so I will post it here. It looks like the former CEO of Great Southern Rail Tony Braxton-Smith will be taking the reigns of DPTI.

In a bit of a change of discussion away from the extensions for a moment, Lord Mayor Martin Hease has suggested a heritage tram service using some of the surviving H type trams be introduced on Sundays as a heritage/tourist operation.

Another shot on North Terrace near Gawler Place.

Last night, trams returned to the eastern half of North Terrace for the first time since 1958. Flexity 113 was the chosen vehicle to undertake clearance testing along the new line.

Says will need 4 more new trams.

The three Madrid trams that have recently arrived in Adelaide (150, 154, 155, now becoming 207, 208, 209) were the last unused Citadis trams available for ...
