Yes, it's a sensitive topic as people would rather not talking about it. All to easy to ignore a problem than deal with it unfortunately.

It's ironic though.... The Speedos on the current fleet of Trams go just over 100km/h....so why can't that be taken advantage of? What are the actual reasons as to why there is a speed restriction on the Glenelg Line? Are there sections where faster speeds would be allowed? PS, perhaps the last two ...

South Aussies are good at that. Something doesn't work properly or is in need of an upgrade - we whinge. Someone (eg Government) goes to fix whatever it is, and we whinge about why it wasn't done earlier. While it's being fixed alternative options are offered and we whinge about how crap and substan...

Do you have any credibility to what you say, Heardy? :roll: Excuse me? Just a bit uncalled for. In answer to your question, the answer is yes, I do. And Aiden is right - Cable Cars operate on the steeper gradients, while the Electric Trams, Trolley Buses and Diesel Buses (some of the Trams are actu...

I've had my own ideas for a while regarding a shared O-Bahn, but with Trams and Buses. Probably works better in theory though. You really need to do some more reading about the OBahn, if you had you'd realise that the OBahn was invented in the first place to allow buses and trams to share the same ...

So what are the advantages of an O-Bahn system over a regular busway? and could trains and an o-bahn (guided busway) co-exist in the same corridor? Would seem feasible to me, although maybe problematic at level crossings. I've had my own ideas for a while regarding a shared O-Bahn, but with Trams a...

SAR526 you have hit the nail on the head. The automatic assumption is these days is that Public Transport must make a profit to be viable yet this was never the case to begin with. I doubt very much that the Belair line, for example, would make a single cent, and I doubt any of the metro lines would...

Heardy, anyone can do all the stuff you've done, which, basically, is tell us that there is a group of people doing stuff that they can show no evidence of, and hi-light bits out of an annual report that you found and insist that it infers what you want it to infer, even though the same line has be...

Any proof? Have you approached GWA to run a train on their tracks? Remember, they own the Infrastructure, they pay the maintenance bills , so would want a return on there investment. (wouldn't you if you owned it). How can their be maintenance bills if there isn't any maintenance? As for the proof ...

Out of curiosity, what are the User Rankings on here and their associated post-counts?

Ever since taking over the SA Regional lines (except for the South East lines and interstate regional lines that are owned by ARTC), GWA have made it, (no) thanks to their access fees (which are nearly 10x what they are in Victoria and NSW), impossible for any other operator other than themselves to...

I wouldn't put trams on Henley Beach Road until our inner suburban tram network is very well developed, and possibly not even then. And I don't think anyones suggesting continuing to run buses up Prospect Road once it has a tram service. I don't see why not. It's relatively simple to branch off the...

Heardy, I don't work in Government or GWA, Oh bullcrap. You are denying and deflection absolutely EVERYTHING that I or anyone else mentions, including my own posts and quotes from other posts, that lay claim that GWA and the Government must be made accountable for the mess that our State Railways a...

Very true, didn't consider those.

They do not say --- "They openly admit that they have not upheld their end of the Lease Agreement" -----and admit it could ultimately cost them should action be taken. What they are saying to their Shareholders in that annual statement is -- if we don't honour these commitments under the ...
