[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
This is my point though - nobody even wants to engage in a debate on the pro's and con's of the various options suggested by the Infrastructure Australia review. Residents of the hills could be making a huge fuss right now about the state of Glen Osmond Road - asking why there isn't tidal flow as su...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
I don't disagree on investing in public transport, but if we're spending $6billion on something, surely there are higher priority tickets than a rail tunnel to the hills? Short term priorities should include a CBD underground loop so we can increase patronage on current rail lines, and extending rai...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Various posts on this thread have touched on this topic previously, but at a high level, what's with the obsession with heavy rail returning to Mount Barker? The current and well known issue is the existing track alignment, creating travel times that cannot compete with the freeway. To make it a fai...

[PRO] Re: Westfield Marion (2019/20 Extension)
Uniqlo Marion "opening Autumn" confirmed on their FB. Good result for Adelaide to have two stores now, the city store is always busy anytime I'm there, and I hope do well at Marion.

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD
I take your point, and hate to make assumptions so apologies if I'm wide of the mark, but I'm guessing when living in an apartment you were young and / or didn't have a young family - and many apartment builds will continue to cater for that market. My point was that if we are to entice families awa...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD
Therein lies the problem of apartments in Australia... they are perceived as being sub-par as compared to landed houses. And maybe that is at least partially justified with some of the quality issues seen interstate, which has seen entire buildings deemed unlivable. Agree the offering overseas is st...

Sorry, my comment on SIA moving to x 2 daily was from this October onwards, when my understanding is the normal summer increase remains in place beyond March next year and becomes permanent

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Batik Air were always going to struggle KUL - ADL when they're competing head-to-head with Malaysian as a full service carrier. Just checked the MH website and if I'm flexible with dates I can fly to KUL return for just over AU$1100 in March. Batik Air was also offering seven hours in a narrow body ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Why would any government cut services to the airport though? It's not just travellers that need them, the airport must have thousands of workers, and to reduce traffic we should be looking at getting them onto PT as much as possible. I was going to suggest maybe the government reconsider the Jet exp...

Well we all know the local airlines and their vested interests would never allow that. The consumer be damned.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I like the idea of the Gawler line travelling underground through the CBD and connecting with the Seaford Line. They're the lines with the highest usage so let's connect them up and run them as a proper metro service, and get building along both lines. As for north meets south, there's a similar arr...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
I can't think of anywhere that's built new tram lines down existing throughfares like Prospect anytime recently. Sydney built along George Street but that is the exception. instead new lines are being built where trams can be separated from existing road traffic, similar to what was done along Port ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
If I've got kids that go to Cowandilla and they can ride along a bike path next to the creek to get to school, I'm not complaning. It's safer than the current arrangements with them dicing with SDB and Brooker Terrace.
