(and "station" is being generous, it's just a platform. I understand having platforms for most of the suburban stops, but surely these new areas where they're trying to create slightly denser communities and encourage public transport use should have proper stations.)

Transport and Infrastructure Minister Tom Koutsantonis turns on new electric Noarlunga train lines

ELECTRIC wires along the full length of the Noarlunga train line between the city and Seaford are now live and ahead passenger travel will start on the new service next month.

Transport and Infrastructure Minister Tom Koutsantonis today said the electrification project was entering its final stages and commuters could look forward to modern, efficient and quiet travel.

The Opposition has been heavily critical of the Government's management of the project and accused it of missing construction deadlines and bungling communication with commuters.

Mr Koutsantonis said commuters of the south had "been very patient with our once-in-a-generation infrastructure build that will revolutionise the way people travel".

"Whether it's the duplicated Southern Expressway or a brand new extended and electrified

train line, southern suburbs commuters have put up with construction works, congestion and

substitute services," he said today.
