So if we had a 4 day heatwave (40 plus), then we might be in a spot of bother? Not quite sure......I believe there is about 3.300 mw of total gas capacity plus diesel (not sure how much is there) plus batteries (around 100mw available, the Tesla big battery is only partly available, it is number on...

Looks like it is currently underway? https://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/public_transport_projects/gawler_rail_electrification_project It has been underway for the past few years, it was only last year when there's been more pole foundation laying work. It's discrete, but it's finally startin...

Damn... Wouldn't mind paying a bit for a few photos and browsing around every now and then xD

Damn! This is great to hear, at least for the time being...

double post, but northbound Port Wakefield Road has now switched onto the new bridge at the northern interchange Is anyone able to take some ground photos of the progress so far? How close is the construction to this? (without the "temporary" on-ramp) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_00L...

Bit of a tangent, but does anyone know the chances of rail heading north east in either the medium term or long term future? I’m guessing the o-Bahn corridor would make the job somewhat easier, and from what I understand the obhan is approaching the end of its estimated useful life. The service is ...

I really hope they don't go with rail under road, when there is a whole chunk of land to the north side they can use for road over rail. The reason why rail under road is the better option for this route is because it would make Hawker St LX removal a lot easier. Plus also would make the Park Terra...

Announcement of investigation works in January 2020. P.S. I think it’s now time to rename this thread to Ovingham Level Crossing Removal 715E2460-5499-4722-90A8-4D78B36A83E4.jpeg Ooooh, the wording within this media release is rather targetted at those who hoped for an inclusion of Hawker St level ...

This forms part of PTP Alliance's North-East Public Transport Study , commissioned by the current SA Liberal government. When...

There are several problems which combine to make the Overland less attractive than just driving: Parklands terminal is near nothing It takes substantially longer than driving The drive is happily achievable in one day, compared with Sydney to Melbourne/Brisbane which is a very very long drive The l...

Wow !! Look at those prices !! Definitely for rich train enthusiasts only!!

Indeed

(TrebleSketch)Currently, the future of Overland beyond the end of this year is uncertain. As you can't book any tickets next year now, due to the uncertainty of funding from both the SA Libs and Vic Lab governments. I would prefer train over coach any day if I were to be travelling between the two ...
