Cant grade sep every crossing, and even in places with hardly any level crossings, some elderly Camry driver will still manage to find a way to crash through the fencing and onto the tracks.

It's like when the pedestrian gates at Salisbury went in and people would still jump the fence and play chicken along the crossing.
Re: News & Discussion: Trains
I like to rip on Camry drivers just as much as the next cycle riding person, sorry that this clown wasn't driving a Camry:
A WOMAN’S luxury car (A Mercedes) was tossed at least 25m when hit by a train at Black Forest on Wednesday after it became stuck under boom gates and she then tried to beat the oncoming train across the level crossing.
Paramedics, MFS and police attended the crash at the Emerson Railway Crossing, at the intersection of South and Cross roads, just after 3.30pm Wednesday.

Big infrastructure investments are usually under-valued and & over-criticized while in the planning stage. It's much easier to envision the here and now costs and inconveniences, and far more difficult to imagine fully the eventual benefits.

WAG: Volvos went upmarket...Camrys are cheaper?

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network
I wonder if anyone has thought that these people might work shifts at Osborne building offshore patrol vessels, frigates and submarines, not nine-five in Adelaide City. Which way will the spur be connected to the main line? Very few of the "jobs created" by the government are in the city square mile.The 1km spur line has been designed to allow the hundreds of people who will soon be living at Dock One to commute to and from work.

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network
How many hundreds of jobs are there in Osborne vs how many thousands in the city? Should all bus, tram and train lines end at Osborne?SBD wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2017 12:20 amI wonder if anyone has thought that these people might work shifts at Osborne building offshore patrol vessels, frigates and submarines, not nine-five in Adelaide City.

I get where you're going, it would be ideal if the line was redirected through the Port instead of the addition of a spur. But the money involved would likely be unrealistic at this point in time.
Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network
With the state election fast approaching, I think it's very possible we will hear plans to electrify the Port Adelaide Line.
*fingers crossed*

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Network
geez, I'd just like them to finish the loo-oong delayed electrification of the Gawler line first.
