The Outer Harbor line should remain as heavy rail. Trams are more suited to the CBD and inner suburbs. Another thing, after again seeing traffic building up into the Port Road intersection due to the railway crossing. This can't come soon enough Traffic banks up into the intersection because some d...

So to sum all this up. 1. We are to spend $100-200MIL plus on grade separation that would not be necessary if the O.H. line through the parklands was removed. 2. Once Bowden grade separation/underground station is in place a commitment to heavy rail on the O.H. line is set in stone. 3. Once heavy ra...

Northern Peninsula aside, the distance from major destinations for the light rail, Woodville TOD about 8km, Port Adelaide 14km and West Lakes and semaphore about the same. Compare this to the Glenelg tram, about 12k to Mosely SQ all failry similar and this run is hugely popular.. I dont believe this...

So as I suspected, by comitting to the grade separation at Bowden and the 10's of millions to be spent, the state gov is locking itself in to heavy rail on the Outer Haror line( which it appears they have canned anyway). Therefore will make extending the tram to this line more complex and costly due...

Many thanks, this clears it all up. But wouldnt removing the outer harbour line through the parklands altogether negate the need for the grade separation and the underground station etc.? As previously said this line could be serviced by light rail via the existing entertainment centre line.

If frieght now all goes on the Northern route via Torrens Road crossing, the grade separation proposed for Bowden (park terrace) really has nothing to do with efficiency of freight then? I thought thats why the federal gov committed funding to this. If thats the case, this money can be spent on Nort...

Can someone here advise if there is much freight on the outer harbour line anymore through the Park Terrace crossing. I travel through this intersection a bit and have never been stoped by a freight train. That being said, would it not be better remove the outer harbour line through the park lands a...
