Qatar is currently flying a second daily flight which is detouring to and from Adelaide after arriving in Melbourne, however it doesn't appear to be taking passengers from Adelaide. I believe this is a temporary compliance arrangement for Qatar until it goes back to the planned Doha-Melbourne-Canbe...

This new hospital will have a helipad...and this is the path planes take when landing on runway 23 at Adelaide Airport. Politicians occasionally talk about building a second airport, so this will add to the excuses to do it. ypad-23.png According to the ILS chart for rwy 23 aircraft should be aroun...

That was bound to happen to the museum. There's room to the south for the museum to expand, but I don't think they control that land.

I saw a guy waiting at the pedestrian crossing at Islington station. He was waiting behind a mile long freight train. The freight train was moving at about 3 miles per hour because it was pulling into the freight depot. He could have been waiting for 20 minutes. This highlights the need for grade s...

This is great news. Over the last year, 66 % of the grid in SA was powered by renewables. Over the last seven days, it was 80 %! This website is useful for seeing what's powering the grid: https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/?range=7d&interval=30m It's better than the AEMO website because it inclu...

Interesting idea. What route(s) in Europe is this used for, and why? Similar reasons to here, usually in a mountain range with a railway, but no adequate road. The best known routes are the Channel Tunnel and Gotthard Base Tunnel. It's popular in India too. There are a couple of different systems f...

Rebuild the road and remove the median strip. Then place the track in the vacant land that will be available as a result of the removal of bitumen. Place the corridor immediately north of the road, like with some country roads where the track is only metres away. Those who park there daily won't li...

We never hear of cars ploughing through the intersection, it's just trucks when they ride the brakes down the hill. So take the trucks off the freeway and make them use the train. "Rolling highways" are quick to loan and unload (the truck drives on and off the wagons straight ahead) and al...

The North Adelaide tram extension is slated to go up O'Connell Street nowhere near the swimming pool.

Which is only a block away...

Are there any renders of this? The tram needs to be extended to North Adelaide for people to have an alternative to driving there.

If the Semaphore line was to return, how would it be incorporated into the timetable? The bigger question is how would it be built? I can't imagine putting tracks in the median would go down well these days. Contrary to a recent post, there is scope for a corridor to WL which parallels the boulevar...

People coming from Outer Harbor and Grange can change at Bowden for the Entertainment Centre tram stop. It's convenient for the RAH too, it should be promoted as an interchange. Doesn't seem worth the effort. Five minute walk between Bowden train station and the tram stop versus ten minutes from th...

Widely discussed on here as a vision - confirmation via InDaily that electrification of the Outer H Line will happen in the medium term, if for no other reason than to continue decarbonisation and the fact that the 3000 class railcars are reaching their end-of-life (though this last fact not specif...

Flinders University has restarted the driverless shuttle bus trial around Tonsley, this time with no backup driver on board.
