I am still waiting for some sign of work starting on the train to Flinders Medical Centre. This is a project from last year.

Work has started. Just not very much of it.

By the looks of it no. Those temporary blocks like they had near the HJs appear to be being put up north of Sturt road

You're right, I missed the massive rail bridge in the background [emoji38] The conduit bridge in the foreground does look a bit like the Hawker St footbridge, to be fair. :lol: That's poor design imo. If they need to do repairs to whats inside it, for whatever reason, they are going to have to clos...

Who won the contract?

The axle loads on the Flexities is about the same as an H car fully laden. So, it's a puzzle. Isn't there more cars so more axles on the new trams? A single pressure point load is important but also the total load is important for a bridge. A coupled set of H cars is plenty heavy and 8 axles. Plus,...

Thank to the people getting pics and sharing them with us. It great to see the progress. Thank you very much.
