The poor finish in the paving is most evident here, but the are a lot of sections like this.

Forced to walk on the road to get to the crossing to reach the tram stop.

Re: #PRO: Port Adelaide Tram | #COM: Entertainment Centre Tr

Here are some Photo's of the Thebarton Tram Stop on Port Road and how "Unfinished" it is, at least in parts. These were taken on the 14th & 15th of April with a one cam, so apologies for the poor quality. IMG00024-20100414-1723.jpg IMG00028-20100414-1725.jpg IMG00029-20100414-1725.jpg

Re: Cycling around Adelaide

Notice also that it says "bike lanes are for the exclusive use of cyclists", but drivers routinely interpret "avoiding an obstruction" to include getting around people in their lane that are turning right. Ahhh... The Forth bullet point above actually states that this is allowed...

Re: #PRO: Port Adelaide Tram | #COM: Entertainment Centre Tr

I don't know about the other stops on the extension, but the Thebarton Stop certainly feels rushed. The Biggest annoyance is the platform paving, it's uneven and dirty, in that the pavers doesn't seem to sit flush with each other and there's a lot of debris around. There are also a lot of gaps betwe...

Re: #U/C: Northern Expressway | 22km

I can understand the whole road detours thing; but why couldn't the wacky diversion have been the road detour whilst they rebuilt the existing road? Because then they'd have to build two roads for each intersetion. One for the temp rd and one for the final overpass. Note other bridges around Adelai...

[COM] Re: Southern Expressway to be doubled

My point is take the money offered but start working on the inner part of south road first, who knows when next we'll get more money??? :wallbash: You're missing the point. The money is being offered for a specific section of road. We can't accept the money and then say oh, but we're gonna do this ...

Re: #U/C: Port Adelaide Tram Line

I would have thought that if you were considering an extension of the tram line to Adelaide Oval, you wouldn't stop there, but run it right through past the cathedral and the Hospital to O'Connel Street to service the businesses and residents in that area and provide them with a direct and efficient...

Re: #U/C: Port Adelaide Tram Line

We received the following information in a letter from the project director for the Tram Line project at work this week: "I wish to advise that tram tracks will be installed at the Port Road/James Congdon Drive/George Street intersection, Thebarton, between 7pm Friday 15 January and 6am Monday ...

Re: #U/C: Port Adelaide Tram Line

I am talking about the finished stuff. The road opposite Coke factory, West end brewery etc. The one they have spent months building. Its not a smooth ride what so ever. Serious f*ck up, or it has something to do with the tram? Merely pointing it out cause it pisses me off every day. The question i...

Re: #U/C: Port Adelaide Tram Line

If you catch public transport, of any kind, during peak periods - then expect to stand, and if you get a seat that's a bonus. Totally agree. Also agree. To expect everyone to have a seat during peak periods is ludicrous and would require a lot more money to be spent on vehicles and operators. As lo...

Re: Ticketing System Failures

I think there's something you are doing to erase your tickets if you're experiencing that level of rejects (keeping them near your mobile phone, credit cards or other source of electro-magnetism). Somehow I find that Hard to beleive. I have been a daily commuter on the train for the last 4.5 years,...

Ticketing System Failures

I don't know what others are experiencing with the current Public Transport Ticketing system at the moment, but I'm starting to have concerns about how much longer it can last. With the replacement system (whatever that may be) not scheduled for completion until 2013/2013, that leaves the best part ...

Re: New Connections

the render of the Noalunga Centre interchange is almost unidentifiable! Its simply the current bridge over the tracks with new buildings on it. There has been talk for decades about extending the shopping centre over the station. If you've seen the size of the beams used, you'll realise its overkil...

Re: New Connections

Good to see from this edition that work will soon begin on the Noarlunga Line upgrade.

There are also some interesting renders here as well, good to see the Bridge over the Onkaparinga but the render of the Noalunga Centre interchange is almost unidentifiable!
