Isn't the rail lease holder supposed to maintain the line in working condition? If so, it shouldn't be an issue to run a special service.
HAHAHAHA.. Good one

What Riverlea needs most urgently is petrol station -preferably with take away food. A couple of weeks ago I had to go to Two Wells running on empty.
Virigina is closer with 3 petrol stations..

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

Riverlea Park doesn't need a "metro"......an ordinary suburban train would be suffice. And Riverlea shouldn't be the terminus either....it should be Two Wells ...marking the contiguous end of the Adelaide suburban sprawl. Plan for it now.....reserving the corridor....making any new develo...

How would the tunnel work in regards to petrol stations and underground fuel tanks particularly around St Marys ?
The tunnels would be several meters below any tanks in the ground.. they wouldn't be using TBM's that close to the surface

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Light rail down Port Road can, by extension, replace stops that may be removed from the OH/Grange lines: - West Croydon (possibly Croydon too) - Woodville Park - Cheltenham. Spend $X million demolishing existing train stations, then spend millions more to replace those same stations with tram stops...

Re: SA Economy

what a joke, no way Mt Barker is part of the Adelaide metro area. Its creative accounting to include it in the population stats. Same trick Dan Andrews pulled with Melton this week to cover up the fact people are leaving Melbourne due to his polcies. What's Dan Andrews got to do with anything in th...

Re: SA Economy

since when? did our premier pull a Melton trick to make Adelaide look like its growing? When the boundaries were established as a part of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016. For the record, I still think it's weird they're trying so hard to push Adelaide to the south east and ove...

Myer is not only an anchor tenant for the Myer Centre, but also an anchor tenant for Rundle Mall. If they move out of the Rundle Mall its the beginning of the end of the shopping strip.
No it isn't.. Nobody would notice is Myer closed down in Rundle Mall

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

I frequent the Plants 3 & 4 quite a bit and normally park in the vacant block on Park Tce next door to it, along with many others. I saw a sign that an office building was going there which I guess means that parking lot is no longer going to be available. What are the plans for parking going f...
