A few more. I confess I might have told one bystander that yellow wheel was for changing the points.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but even though a right turn from King William Street into North Terrace (Glenelg to East End), or a full grand union is likely unnecessary. I would have thought that a right turn from North Terrace into King William Road (East End to Festival Theatre) would be. For when (if) we get the full proposed tram network, wouldn't it be preferable for the Prospect tram to follow the city loop?

The Prospect tram will most likely continue to Unley via Pulteney Street

That’s brilliant. Thank you. I did not dare to go to the city today but anyway, I will never be able to shoot something like that...

Can anyone take pics of the progress from 2KW?
It's a great view!
For starters, my avatar is the well-known Adelaide Aquatic Centre insignia from 1989.

You have to have a selfie stick. Otherwise the building profile gets in the way.

The pizzas and coopers are definitely worth going for though.

I hope they've updated the dress policy. Last time I went there, I was asked to leave minutes later.

Having just discovered this board today is quite amazing!

Can't claim credit for this (saw someone post the idea on Facebook), but on the no right turn from KWS -> Nth Terrace they could do a route of the following:
Glenelg -> City -> Riverside (driver changes end) -> East End -> City -> Glenelg

In the meantime, I'm going to be in the city tomorrow, I'm going to try and get some pics from 2KW to share.
