Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
To be honest, I cannot see a business case for urban rail to Virginia and Riverlea ever stacking up, despite being quite a large potential catchment area (40,000+ people). It would be an extension of about 16-17km which you would need to double-track to join it to the existing Gawler line. This is ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
treeless national park, but do whatever you need to do to score junk time points Plantation timber is usually used to build stuff, so counts as carbon capture and storage. One of those pages pointed out that Aleppo Pines don’t form hollows for nesting, and it was an environmental monoculture. They ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Oh. First I heard of this (not an airline aficionado by any stretch). Did a google search but couldn't find anything, got a link? Would be interesting to get an idea of what they are thinking as the airport were talking about flights to the USA. See your own post from 2019. https://sensational-adel...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
I was driving up South Road past the Happy Valley reservoir this afternoon and noticed they'd chopped down a whole plantation forest which has been there since I was born and replaced it with solar panels so much for 'green energy' :roll: From what I recall, it was always regarded as a commercial p...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I’ve seen this mentioned before and I have to ask, how do you get rail into Angle Vale? You don’t, hence the feeder buses. There’s already routes that link to Smithfield on the Gawler line, links to a potential station at Virginia would be invaluable if commuter rail ever makes it to Two Wells. Ah,...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
If the government isn’t prepared to commit to a proper extension to Roseworthy, even trialling a diesel service between Gawler and Roseworthy would be a great first step as more houses are completed. Do enough trackworks to get them running at a fair speed on single track, timetable them to sync wi...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Agreed. Amidst all the tall promises of rail to Mount Barker and the stalled extension to Aldinga, rail to the Barossa and Roseworthy would by far be the easiest additions to the network. I'm curious - what do people see as the purpose of bringing back rail services to Roseworthy and the Barossa Va...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
That was how the deal was presented at the time, to reduce backlash from giving up the line, but it's well known that there has been no enforcement of that condition. Wasn’t all or part of the line handed back to the State Government when Kroemer’s Crossing was severed? Or is it still under Aurizon...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Three times a week Adelaide to the other side of the planet? We've barely scratched the surface with direct flights to the Asian continent. True, but more than Australians visit the US than every Asian country except Indonesia (Bali), so demand is clearly there. Domestic-International transfers in ...

Re: AFL Gather Round
this is what gets me, a $40 million upgrade to facilities in the Barossa and $30 million spent in Mt Barker... this looks a lot like pork barelling. The local Mt Barker club wont even use the Summit Oval for its games. where is the legacy for football when this money could be spent on revitalising ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I hope Gather Round in Lyndoch helps to make an issue of rail infrastructure in SA. This could form some important commentary if it's kept in the public conscience, and could time well for the next State Election if there is enough momentum. Agreed. Amidst all the tall promises of rail to Mount Bar...
