Did you capture these images using a flash? They are unreadable near the centre of some images.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Well I got the pass right. If a rail overpass can be built, then it will suffice. There is a slim possibility of routing the rail underneath the underpass, taking into account the wires. This will require significant $ though. Are there any actual drafts/plans which indicate what is to be done? I'm ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
An underpass for Cross Rd under South Rd might help. With a new station in a similar, but not identical style to Oaklands. The way Oaklands is designed makes me feel like there are two segments. Many patrons come from near Diagonal Rd, and it isn't always immediately obvious that the train stops at ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
If you want people to catch public transport, then fix the public transport system. Don’t provide a substandard design solution to a city shaping project as a deterrent. One thing that be counted on is that it won't be improved. No government wants to encourage PT use, due to a reduction of revenue...

[COM] Re: M2 Northern Connector | 15.5km | $867m
I'm sure that plenty of existing country roads have this installed. Why on earth wasn't it installed during the construction phase though? And is it present on the Southern expressway?

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Buses
Although this can possibly be avoided depending on where I sit, I think those pathetic excuse for those credit card accepting validators on buses need to be repositioned, and optimised. The current non-credit card accepting ones have a dim yellow background, with a small rectangular screen showing t...

These abbreviations are sometimes difficult to translate. I assume you mean new Women's and children's hospital.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
In regards to the debate about removing stations, when cars became commonplace, many small SA settlements diminished into ghost towns/vacant sites. If these places still had houses, would it be financially viable to deploy service officers to all of these outlets, located roughly every 10x10 square ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
@rubberman I gather you didn't see the thread about increasing spacings between stations I created within the last 32 hours. There are numerous stations which are candidates for removal. The OH has 20 active stations, which makes for just over one per km, when you factor in the distance between Bowd...

Re: Speeding up train services
That's a good way to see it. I was thinking of removing Adelaide as well, to remove the need for drivers to change ends. This would require some investment to commission a multi track bypass where the Gaol loop is now. The question is though, should the passengers be dropped off at North Adelaide, M...

Re: Speeding up train services
Well, I had a glance at the Belair line, and by removing Torrens Park, and Lynton (both to be merged with Clapham), this would enable services to be able to cross just south of Eden Hills, and Adelaide Showgrounds. The 2000s timetable set up would be reintroduced. A new station called Sleeps Hill or...

Overweight trams morphing into trains
The topic has been raised numerous times about closing several stations on the network which are seen as being too close to each other. Instead of suggesting it in multiple posts, I thought I'd create a new thread. My suggestions for station closures are the following - Gawler Central line: Dudley P...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The following stations could be removed on the OH line, without causing excessive inconvenience: West Croydon Woodville Park Cheltenham Ethelton (amalgamated with Glanville) Largs Draper Midlunga This would enable a travel time of 31 minutes stopping all stops. A saving of 2 minutes would be achieve...

[U/C] Re: Ovingham Level Crossing Removal | $231m
Not sure if you're referring to any side lane, like with the Goodwood Rd underpass, or lack of ability to turn right onto Torrens Rd. Would be you mind elaborating a little please? 7 + 8-12 minutes vs about 19-20 minutes plus time to reach the car is a small difference, factoring in walking time. It...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The current buses that operate on the O'bahn are almost silent in a healthy condition, excluding the solitary Mercedes-Benz bus, which will be gone by 2025. At governed speed, a leaking tap can be louder. But given that they are machines which are used near continuously, occasionally a mechanical fa...
