Lightrail does not always mean trams, TransPerth classifies its system as lightrail.

It will be intresting to see how they fit everything in the space they have. The old TNT yard (the land in question) isnt that big. I would have thought they could fit one developent, being houseing or a shopping centre.

You can purchase a 1936 gregorys road map of adelaide for $22 at the RAA offices in Hindmarsh Sq. It is a very limited reprint.

I agree, plus the new soon to be opened Bakewell Underpass, if the tram could run down and up the pass, that would be awesome. Trams did run through the underpass at Hawthorne on Goodwood Road back in the day. Infact this was the very reason this underpass was built. If it wasnt for the trams we wo...

If you look into the site, there seems to be posts marking out somthing, and a large pile of sand has apeared on site. Whats the bet there going to plant a lawn.

The rail in 1929 was just the old steam train rail turned around so that the old running surface was on the outside - so if any of it exists still, it could be turn of the 20th century stuff. Wow.

The line is now in very poor condition and needs to be rebuilt (sleepers, ballast, tamping, etc) before it would be considered safe for rollingstock. The sleepers are actually in pretty good condition with most still being ok for service, most of them are steel. Ballast can be reclaimed although it...

I rather like the glass tower idea for Victoria Square. Something simelar to that Bell Tower spire they have in Perth.

You should mention that Oaklands Pk has a Ticket Office......

Well atleast its not turning out like the old AMP building at the corner of KWS and Hindley St. silver and red with the same windows :wank: :wank:

Transadelaide tonight, has confirmed that the driver of the tram went thru a red light.

I am proud to say, in the 18 years of my life i have never even thought about smoking

It's laughable for all of you in here to whinge about the people whinging about the tram because from what I've read, absolutley none of you deal with the tram on a daily basis to experience what everyone else has. Froggy, The tram is my principle means of transport other then walking. I have only ...

Where abouts is this internal courtyard going to be located? Pretty much, its where internal courtyard is, that has been there since the Station was built, just closed to public :P But yeah if you’re really curious look on Google maps, it’s the large hole in the middle of the southern side of t...

this has to happen at the north end of town to Exept the lines are already there the just need to be opened to public transport trains. If you are talking about the line past Gawler Central, then I would forget about having Transadelaide services on it. With much thanks to the last Liberal State Go...
