[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Redevelopment | $800 million
Those outdoor escalators will have frequent breakdowns and callouts during their lifetime. This is Adelaide, so there is a good chance they'll end up being permanently out of order, with a rent-a-fence at either end for a few years, until a future state govt inevitably pays for them to be removed a...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The platforms at Mawson Lakes are also too short for a 6 car train, so they might eventually have to tack on some extra platform.ChillyPhilly wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 5:11 pmVery tacked on. We really need a masterplan for an overhaul of railway stations.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Name a single public transport project that got delivered in the 1970s anywhere in the world. I can think of a few: San Francisco opened the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in 1972 Munich, for the Olympics they delivered a big suburban rail renewal and expansion by 1972. London Underground extended t...

Hopefully that retaining wall behind Parliament doesn't collapse like the one at Darlington
Should be right, looks pretty solid construction, it's not just shotcrete holding it together

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Here's a question for any commuters on the Gawler line who like to look out of the window..... Is there evidence of any preparations "on the ground" for the electrification? You'd expect by now there would be visible activity around surveying, setting out and pouring concrete foundations ...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Service & Policy
Trains and Trams will be shut down during the Off-Peak to do some urgently needed maintenance on the train and tram network... or not: These service disruptions will enable a large proportion of employees to participate in information briefings held by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infra...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
At least when you are standing on the tracks to read it, you will know in real time if you are about to be run over. 😉 Reminds me of back in 2008 they installed those dot-matrix info screens at some train stations, CityRail in Sydney had them since the late 80s-early 90s and were phasing them out a...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Service & Policy
The order for new electric trains for the Gawler line has just been cut from 15 3-car sets down to 12. Stupid decision, we'll need more trains not less. I remember the last Labor govt were attacked by the Liberals for not buying enough trams and ended up grabbing some second-hand from Madrid for do...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway
a city with the size and population of adelaide needs a north south non stop motorway at the very minimum. we are the only mainland capital city without one and have fallen well behind. Not quite.. in Sydney there is still 8km of arterial road with about 22 sets of lights between the M2 Motorway an...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Transport Projects
Those pictures really say all this. That station should definitely be an extreme example, but even a station is actually quite unacceptable to get worse in that situation. Which pictures? What station? Very similar to this post on page 1 Those photos really say it all. That station must surely be a...
