Why to Edwardstown? The Edwardstown portal location is a compromise between capability and cost. It's the most northerly point the line can diverge while still avoiding the Emerson crossing, and just happens to be ideally located for taking advantage of major works planned for the South Road corrid...

My ideal scenario: Cent 1: Grade seperate one line to underground fro a North-South corridor utilising utilising the existing underground spaces that go alongside bank street for commuter access, bypass mile end station and connect back on to either parklands or showgrounds. I'm not sure what you'r...

the stations are on many different lines ...because NYC has many different lines! But most of those lines have multiple stations in the Financial District. at most 2 however the financial district has 10x the working population of Adelaide's CBD The R line has 5 stations in the map excerpt you've d...

yes, the point of a railway under the city To enable people to get where they're going more quickly, to make Adelaide less car dependent, and to encourage City development. Currently there's only one City station, and it's right on the edge of the CBD. To get into the middle of the City, someone fr...

The point is, step out of the fantasy, and step into the reality. If this is something you want to seriously present to government, it has to be serious, not just some random lines in a map that looks like a university assignment. It is serious. I presume it doesn't look serious to you? If that's t...

what is the point of it?

Can you be a bit more specific please?
Are you asking about the point of a railway under the City?
Of linking the Gawler and Seaford lines?
Of running it to Edwardstown?
Of the station locations?
Or of my developing the plan?

Ho Really, did you even look at my plan? 'Tis not intended to be a loop, but rather an extension of the Gawler line through the City, then through Keswick and alongside South Road, joining the Seaford line around Edwardstown. It also includes building two of the stations for a second line, which wou...

CITY STATION DETAILS: Adelaide Station: Under North Terrace, adjacent to the existing station. On 2 levels, eventually giving cross platform interchange between Line 1 (the one I've mapped) and Line 2 (linking to the existing Flinders Line, then Norwood and possibly eventually the Murraylands when ...

Combining works with the NS Motorway construction wil save money. This alignment avoids tight curves in the suburbs, diverts Seaford trains away from some busy level crossings, and interchanges with tram (and bus) services in the suburbs as well as the City. It also directly serves Keswick Terminal ...

After having to change it because the Market Arcade development progressed beyond the stage where it was compatible, I've finally completed a plan for a railway under the City (and to Edwardstown) designed to minimise construction costs and maximise utility: http://track11.com.au/RevisedAlignment.ht...

The success of the Tonsley Innovation District prompts the question: why did the previous attempt at one (in Bedford Park) fail?

Seems to be illegal according to this article: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/accc-suggests-cabotage/ Not allowed for domestic passengers, but we know that. I’m asking about the definition of domestic passengers: is there still the loophole that there was in 1999? And on the subject of ...

What is the current situation with cabotage? I remember in 1999 I was in Sydney. I was planning to fly to London but had decided to see a bit more of Australia first. Having seen a fair but of NSW (plus the ACT and SE QLD) I was eager to return to Adelaide and enquired about the cost of flying. ‘Twa...
