It's barely regional, but lots of chatter today with people questioning the rail strategy of the government.

Mali has been telling people to leave early for the Lyndoch game since there's only one main road there, meanwhile the train line runs right next to the oval. With a relatively modest investment the government could have had diesel trains running right from the Gather Round festival area at Elder Park to the stop right next to the oval at Lyndoch.
I can’t argue against that, even though I don’t in general support extending the metro rail. I want to see us reestablish regional cities and towns, not allow the Adelaide urban sprawl to stretch out to reach them.

Didn’t the contracts with private operators require them to have to restore the line in short notice?
