Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

This is a failure by governments. Everything that's done is looked at/approached as stand alone. There is no thought beyond that project, that piece of roadway. How many times do you see brand new roads, or footpaths, ripped up? Too often in this state. ... Can you provide instances of brand new ro...

Strange that it's dual track?
I assume second track is retained for NRM. Previous layout had multiple tracks past Aviation Museum.

[PRO] Re: New Police Barracks

I thought it was going to Gepps Cross? Hope this one is rejected on the grounds that it is prime location. The south parklands original idea is looking like a missed opportunity now. The CBD site proposal is for a staging area in addition to the Gepps Cross facility for the dogs and horses. Are pri...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

3017 was the first to be wrapped. 3121/22 followed. 3009 is also green wrapped and was paired with 3017. In the last 2-3 weeks 3017 has been on its own at Dry Creek. It was announced that 45 of the 70 railcars would be converted. The 3000s not being converted will be retired I believe - correct me ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Car 3017 has been green wrapped too. They must be rolling it out to all the 3000 class as they are upgraded. 3017 was the first to be wrapped. 3121/22 followed. 3009 is also green wrapped and was paired with 3017.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Saw hybrid railcars 3121 and 3122 at the ARS this morning. Are they in revenue service or just testing? They haven't appeared in the GTFSR realtime feed so they could still be testing. So far I 've seen 3009, 3017, 3121 and another 31xx (3122?) in hybrid livery around Dry Creek depot in recent week...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

At Ovingham station, the southern active crossing is commissioned, yet the northern active crossing is still awaiting completion. The Northern active crossing was originally scheduled for commissioning in March but was delayed. It was operational in early June when I took a series of photos at the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

... if you want context maybe start with the fact these batteries generate zero electricity Correct - they don't generate electricity. They store it from times with excess generation to be released at times of excess demand. They also provide various kinds of technical modulation that had tradition...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Yes, once all the active crossings have been turned on, because trains still have to crawl through those at 25km/h. Apparently this will be done by the end of the year. I really don't know why it's taking this long to enable them! Commissioning of the active crossings requires modifications to the ...

Is there expected to be a new timetable in place soon now that all services are electric along the Gawler line?

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Not sure if its been mentioned anywhere but I noticed last week that the pedestrian crossing across the tracks behind North Adelaide Golf Course is still fenced off. This crossing was upgraded as part of the Gawler line works but still sits there unused. Anyone know why? The pedestrian crossing was...
