Sorry for the off-topic. 85trainfan - If it's standard gauge to Belair, that means neither the diesels nor electrics can run on the line... which can only mean one thing - conversion to light rail. Can you or anyone confirm this? Shuz, a very small portion of the Belair line around the underpass si...

I have many fond memories of this shopping centre. When I was 4/5 years old, my Nana used to shop here and I remember trying to navigate the store without stepping on white (or black) tiles. It was quite a challenge!! Then there was the time I was 7/8 when I ripped my favourite pair of shorts becaus...

Out of interest does anyone know what the white (concrete??) beams are across the rails just before the Morphett Street bridge? Are they to separate the two work sites (Rail yards and Convention Centre)?

Hills residents are pushing for the Belair line to remain open next year, at least to Mitcham, with shuttle buses operating between mitcham & the city. Not sure if that makes sense, but that's what they are asking for... I have heard that the freight line is remaining open while the Goodwood Ju...

Yes, we kept one line open during the upgrade, however the line which was...

I'm not sure a closure of the Expressway would have been required just for this, certainly not the full weekend. There must have been other things happening somewhere along the route as well. There were a heap of trucks travelling along South Road over the weekend loaded with concrete Clipsal barri...

South Road was blocked off last night was well! A man locked himself in a doctors car at Beford Park and began damaging it. When the police tried to arrest him he produced a gun and threatened self harm. He was arrested.. So the people you overheard weren't talking about the expressway blasting.. :l...

They commenced blasting of the rockface near Darlington today. I was sitting just off Flagstaff Road to watch it. It wasnt quite as spectacular as I thought it would have been. Still interesting though! The think that they'll be blasting on and off for the next 9 months or so. The Expressway and Mai...
