Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
As someone with family in the South Island of NZ the one on this list that really annoys me is the lack of direct connection to Christchurch. Air NZ, Virgin or Qantas could do it easily with a new A320 or 737 if they wanted to, and a direct flight would turn a direct trip between Adelaide and Christ...

Save the Cranker firing into action. You heard it here first.
(I'm all for seeing our CBD grow up, just now historic pubs that are still a big part of our live music scene, when there are still plenty of other suitable sites available).

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Basically what we've discovered is that if you have roads A, B and C that run north-south through the western suburbs of a city, and connect new expressways to the northern and southern ends of road B, that road approaches capacity very quickly. It shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise to an...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
If not for having to allow for ships and submarines in and out of Port Adelaide, it would be really easy to get a train from Outer Harbor to Two Wells, via Buckland Park, Riverlea Park and Port Gawler. It could use a lot of the existing heritage tram right of way down to the St Kilda. Something I've...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
To be fair DIT have initiated a level crossing removal project across SA, but based on the current prioritisation the initial locations are to the north of the city: https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/road_projects/Level_Crossing_Removal_Planning_Program. There's also the Marion / Cross Road i...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Of course the Victorians are eating our lunch. Their capital is about the same distance away from Mount Gambier as Adelaide, but is four times bigger. Victoria's Gross State Product is also roughly four times SA's. They also have large population centres like Portland and Warnambool much closer than...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
This is my point though - nobody even wants to engage in a debate on the pro's and con's of the various options suggested by the Infrastructure Australia review. Residents of the hills could be making a huge fuss right now about the state of Glen Osmond Road - asking why there isn't tidal flow as su...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
I don't disagree on investing in public transport, but if we're spending $6billion on something, surely there are higher priority tickets than a rail tunnel to the hills? Short term priorities should include a CBD underground loop so we can increase patronage on current rail lines, and extending rai...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Various posts on this thread have touched on this topic previously, but at a high level, what's with the obsession with heavy rail returning to Mount Barker? The current and well known issue is the existing track alignment, creating travel times that cannot compete with the freeway. To make it a fai...

Uniqlo Marion "opening Autumn" confirmed on their FB. Good result for Adelaide to have two stores now, the city store is always busy anytime I'm there, and I hope do well at Marion.

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD
I take your point, and hate to make assumptions so apologies if I'm wide of the mark, but I'm guessing when living in an apartment you were young and / or didn't have a young family - and many apartment builds will continue to cater for that market. My point was that if we are to entice families awa...

Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD
Therein lies the problem of apartments in Australia... they are perceived as being sub-par as compared to landed houses. And maybe that is at least partially justified with some of the quality issues seen interstate, which has seen entire buildings deemed unlivable. Agree the offering overseas is st...

Sorry, my comment on SIA moving to x 2 daily was from this October onwards, when my understanding is the normal summer increase remains in place beyond March next year and becomes permanent

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Batik Air were always going to struggle KUL - ADL when they're competing head-to-head with Malaysian as a full service carrier. Just checked the MH website and if I'm flexible with dates I can fly to KUL return for just over AU$1100 in March. Batik Air was also offering seven hours in a narrow body ...
