Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

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

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line

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...

[SWP] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

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...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

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...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line

It's 1.2 km from the Semaphore Road level crossing to the beach. From Glanville or the proposed station in this thread, it's even further. Something needs to be done to connect the beach with the train station because it's too far to walk and Semaphore is supposed to become another major centre. Thi...

[SWP] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

If Adelaide gets an underground CBD railway, the plan for the tunnel entrance is that it will be in the gap between the university buildings to the north of the City West tram stop. It will be easiest if the stations are above ground because underground stations are incredibly expensive. Melbourne M...

Re: New Adelaide public transport hub

Also, your point about an underground O-Bahn interchange in Hindmarsh Square could be joined up with an underground bus tunnel, like in Brisbane. The O-Bahn tunnel was cheap (for a tunnel) at $160 million. A cut and cover bus tunnel under Grenfell and Currie Streets would be a bit more expensive bec...

Re: New Adelaide public transport hub

City Underground Rail: - Adelaide City Council's UPark on Rundle is approaching the end of its useable life. This could potentially be used as one of the sites for constructing an underground cavern for a new station at Hindmarsh Square along with an over station development (with one or two others...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

All trams have been stopped in the city. What happened? While on one of the stuck trams, I overheard a message to the driver about an ambulance on the track about to clear soon. I suspect someone had a medical issue on one of the other trams. I know this forum doesn't like to hear this, but this is...

[U/C] Re: Ovingham Level Crossing Removal | $231m

This has probably been asked 20000 times by now. But why is there still an intersection for Churchill/Torrens Rd? Wouldn't it have been sensible to plan an overpass/underpass? Or did the LNP intentionally leave it out, in order to gain votes via a future election promise? It's just typical ' underp...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Since Paris metro was brought up, practically all foreign metros accelerate faster than Adelaide metro trains. Our 4000 class EMUs have 1.6 MW of power on tap, do the drivers ever use it to accelerate out of stations? A small three carriage train should accelerate much faster than they do. It would ...
