Ah yes, the unnecessary right-hand turn, how could anyone possibly forget...

Wasn't there also a promise to extend the King WIlliam Road stub through North Adelaide?Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 10:41 pmAh yes, the unnecessary right-hand turn, how could anyone possibly forget...
Nope. There was a promise to consider it.SBD wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 11:16 pmWasn't there also a promise to extend the King WIlliam Road stub through North Adelaide?Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 10:41 pmAh yes, the unnecessary right-hand turn, how could anyone possibly forget...
Code: Select all
Nope. The Liberals will keep their promise to look at North Adelaide and part of the City Loop. Once they've looked at it, they've kept their promise. They don't have to build it.Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 9:50 pmWell, I guess after April we can expect this thread to go dead for four or so years (at the very least), it's been nice talking to you all about trams...
I'm not sure of your assessment that it wasn't a vote winner. There's been a 2.8% swing towards Labor in Adelaide as of current counting (despite the boundary redistribution giving the Liberals an extra 0.6%), and there's still a chance they could steal it (only 67 votes in it at the moment).

Will they even bother to finish the North Tce extension?
Well there's certainly an opportunity to finally deliver the electrification of the Rail line to Gawler and look pretty good at the ribbon cutting ceremony. *fingers crossed*ml69 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 8:02 amLet's just wait n see what gets delivered by the Liberals in the next 4 years before we judge?Kasey771 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 7:41 amIts so sad that the Libs don't believe in Public TransportPatrick_27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 9:50 pmWell, I guess after April we can expect this thread to go dead for four or so years (at the very least), it's been nice talking to you all about trams...

For all of Labor's pro-tram and rail talk, they've delivered a 1km tram extension, minor rail station improvements and no further rail electrification in the past 4 years.

The Port Adelaide spur, Gawler Line electrification and Flinders Link will still go ahead. All those projects have had contracts signed.prometheus2704 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 10:32 amSeaford Extensionml69 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 8:02 amLet's just wait n see what gets delivered by the Liberals in the next 4 years before we judge?

Goodwood rail junction
Torrens Rail Junction
O-Bahn tunnel (I'm still having to remind myself I need to hurry to my stop when I see the bus is at the Hackney Road, Botanic Road intersection because it's only a few minutes away, not 10 mins or more)
People in the know, had the Flinders rail extension contracts been signed?
And most of that swing was under the mentality that "we need change for the sake of change." It wasn't necessarily anything to do with policy and besides, over the next four years you'll start to see more and more of the older Liberal voters drop off the face of the earth.Nathan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 12:01 amI'm not sure of your assessment that it wasn't a vote winner.
