Something going on with a train on the Gawler line. Stopped at Dry Creek. Driver said there's a problem with the signals and keeps on walking up and down the platform inspected the train. Two other workers arrived and are inspecting the train from the other side, opposite from the platform. The seem...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

I saw a guy waiting at the pedestrian crossing at Islington station. He was waiting behind a mile long freight train. The freight train was moving at about 3 miles per hour because it was pulling into the freight depot. He could have been waiting for 20 minutes. This highlights the need for grade se...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line

Why note close Peterhead, Draper and Midlunga? I don't think that creating a hybrid station between Ethelton and Glanville would be wise politically. Closing Cheltenham, West Croydon and Woodville Park as well would enable less stops. These station locations were envisaged in the SAR days, and were...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Do you think it will be back to the 2015 version with an elevated road between Tonsley and Edwardstown, or do you think there will be more trench? It will clearly require bridges at several cross streets, but design of exits will need to be careful to ensure that traffic light queues don't trail ba...

Trackless tram FFS. Is Adelaide Council just run by the pointy haired boss from Dilbert?

Just saw a 4000 Class get evacuated at Mawson Lakes. Now it's just sitting there. Must be mechanical problems.

Now that Gawler is done, reckon we'll see any progress on electrifying Outer Harbor before next state election?
Maybe. Maybe not. Just so long as they don't turn the Ouer Harbor line into a tram line. That was literally the worst idea in the history of transportation.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Trackless trams? I thought the entire purpose of the currently uselessFestival Plaza stub was to serve as a connection point for a future North Adelaide line. If a conventional tram isn't built off that stub than the stub will be useless. Also I'm not buying his lie that trackless "trams" ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

It's strange that the express train from Mawson Lakes to city takes 17 minutes but the non-express train from Mawson Lakes to city also takes 17 minutes.
