Surely the $200M odd for the design will include some proper traffic modelling. Depending on the location of the tunnel entrances, you may find 2 lanes is entirely appropriate. For example, they could aim this for primarily N-S freight movements and restrict city-bound movements. However, I doubt th...

One thing confused me, the article states that two section tickets will no longer be available for trains and trams, presumably assuming they will still be available for buses? If this is the case, then that's actually not too horrible. We should leave high-capacity, rapid transit for longer journey...

Amazing how quick things can be built when its on Commonwealth land :applause: :applause: New terminal is gonna be good. Hopefully I can try it out when its complete. I'd suggest it's less to do with it being Commonwealth land and more to do with a good business case and the ripe finances of the ai...

First of all. When people talk about moving the airport to Edinburgh, really the only thing they'd be sharing with Defence is the runway. You build completely separate freight and passenger terminals away from defence operations. With that in mind there's nothing stopping Defence and civilian operat...

I feel that every station between Salisbury and Adelaide would definitely benefit from relocation of the ARTC line. It forms a massive barrier to access and movement, and limits the scope for other improvements; for example, potential passing loops at major stations or platform widening. Build the ...

So in June 2016, the federal government promised money. "A year later" (June 2017?) , the "State’s Transport Department" (DPTI?) said planning would start soon to be finished by early 2018. Koutsantonis got voted out of government in March 2018, and now it's the Liberals' fault ...

There are TBMs that can dig diagonally down for escalator shafts. Here is an article on one used for the St Petersburg Metro: https://www.tunneltalk.com/TunnelTech-Aug12-Herrenknecht-technology-tackles-St-Petersburg-declining-metro-escalator.php Why couldn’t they build escalators within that 25m di...

How about servicing the area with a new interchange at Grand Junction instead of trying to shoehorn as many people into Paradise as possible How about making the feeder routes more accessible - ie shelter upgrades, more frequent services and fewer transfers outside of peak. Don't give people a reas...

O-bahn will only control the bus's lateral movement. It does nothing to slow the bus down again at the end of the steep decline. Which is why buses and all other heavy vehicles are and will still have a restricted speed when making that journey. An o-bahn will not fix that. 165 km/hr will require mu...

Groan. Another desolate car park. I hope this doesn't preclude turning this interchange into a proper destination in the future, once residents realise the value of more people places. I'd much rather live next to a vibrant complex of shops and apartments than a wasteland of cars devoid of people fo...

As I predicted, a dismal frequency :wallbash: https://www.sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6143&start=60#p169905 Express to Woodville for the Grange line might encourage more people to use the Grange train. The existing express trains save four minutes on the trip to Woodv...

The operational frequency of the Port Dock line is considered to be: · Peak hours (7am-9am and 3pm-6pm on weekdays): Services every 20 minutes (i.e. three trains per hour ineach direction/total of six train movements per hour) · Off peak hours (Weekdays: 5am-7am, 9am-3pm, 6pm-12am; Weekends: 5am-12...

The distances in that area are not that great - Glanville station on the OH line is only a 5-10 minute stroll from Semaphore beach for instance. In the short term, I wonder if Glanville were simply renamed 'Semaphore', more people might realise & utilise it. Largs station is even closer. It's n...

anyone else get stuck on Port Wakefield road today? a burst water main about 500m north of the Waterloo Corner intersection had northbound side turned into a parking lot all the way to atleast Gepps Cross. Every other main northern arterial was affected by it with people trying to go around. Just s...

I thought I'd start a thread for the budding designers on here to share their thoughts on the updated southern bus routes once the new Flinders Interchange is completed. My suspicion is that very little, if anything, will change. But my hope is the southern routes all become feeders into a high-freq...
