Re: Portrush Rd/South Eastern Freeway intersection discussion.
Interesting idea. What route(s) in Europe is this used for, and why? Similar reasons to here, usually in a mountain range with a railway, but no adequate road. The best known routes are the Channel Tunnel and Gotthard Base Tunnel. It's popular in India too. There are a couple of different systems f...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
Rebuild the road and remove the median strip. Then place the track in the vacant land that will be available as a result of the removal of bitumen. Place the corridor immediately north of the road, like with some country roads where the track is only metres away. Those who park there daily won't li...

Re: Portrush Rd/South Eastern Freeway intersection discussion.
We never hear of cars ploughing through the intersection, it's just trucks when they ride the brakes down the hill. So take the trucks off the freeway and make them use the train. "Rolling highways" are quick to loan and unload (the truck drives on and off the wagons straight ahead) and al...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands
Are there any renders of this? The tram needs to be extended to North Adelaide for people to have an alternative to driving there.

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
If the Semaphore line was to return, how would it be incorporated into the timetable? The bigger question is how would it be built? I can't imagine putting tracks in the median would go down well these days. Contrary to a recent post, there is scope for a corridor to WL which parallels the boulevar...

People coming from Outer Harbor and Grange can change at Bowden for the Entertainment Centre tram stop. It's convenient for the RAH too, it should be promoted as an interchange. Doesn't seem worth the effort. Five minute walk between Bowden train station and the tram stop versus ten minutes from th...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Widely discussed on here as a vision - confirmation via InDaily that electrification of the Outer H Line will happen in the medium term, if for no other reason than to continue decarbonisation and the fact that the 3000 class railcars are reaching their end-of-life (though this last fact not specif...

Flinders University has restarted the driverless shuttle bus trial around Tonsley, this time with no backup driver on board.

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
It's 1.2 km from the Semaphore Road level crossing to the beach. From Glanville or the proposed station in this thread, it's even further. Something needs to be done to connect the beach with the train station because it's too far to walk and Semaphore is supposed to become another major centre. Thi...

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital
If Adelaide gets an underground CBD railway, the plan for the tunnel entrance is that it will be in the gap between the university buildings to the north of the City West tram stop. It will be easiest if the stations are above ground because underground stations are incredibly expensive. Melbourne M...

Re: New Adelaide public transport hub
Also, your point about an underground O-Bahn interchange in Hindmarsh Square could be joined up with an underground bus tunnel, like in Brisbane. The O-Bahn tunnel was cheap (for a tunnel) at $160 million. A cut and cover bus tunnel under Grenfell and Currie Streets would be a bit more expensive bec...

Re: New Adelaide public transport hub
City Underground Rail: - Adelaide City Council's UPark on Rundle is approaching the end of its useable life. This could potentially be used as one of the sites for constructing an underground cavern for a new station at Hindmarsh Square along with an over station development (with one or two others...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
All trams have been stopped in the city. What happened? While on one of the stuck trams, I overheard a message to the driver about an ambulance on the track about to clear soon. I suspect someone had a medical issue on one of the other trams. I know this forum doesn't like to hear this, but this is...
