Re: Buses out of service for long periods

1102 was on the road on Thursday night & Friday morning, not sure if it's been out since Friday though.

Re: Boral quarry access

Interesting... didn't the Transport Minister recently rule out an entry/exit to the Southern Expressway at Majors Rd?

If a private company is willing to fund it entirely, and obviously it would be available for all vehicles to use, then that's a different story.

Well it is in the middle of nowhere... there are plenty of other stops that could be removed for the same reason!

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations

There has been a lot of rain this week which makes the roads very dirty. And there's still a few showers about yesterday and today. Give them a few days to catch up on the cleaning and then see how the fleet looks.

Re: Gawler Rail Line shutdown

That's true Phonj. But Google Maps would assume that a car is travelling at 110km/h on the motorway, but buses are limited to 100km/h, and O-Bahn buses limited to 85km/h so it would take a bus longer than the time that Google Maps shows :)

Re: Gawler Rail Line shutdown

Would it be quicker when departing Elizabeth, to go via Philip Hwy & Salisbury Hwy, then onto the NS Motorway? A few more traffic lights, but you'd be able to travel at 60km/h for most of the time on these highways.

These buses are in use this afternoon based out of Mile End. Definitely weird seeing single door Scanias on Torrens Transit routes!

Re: [Mar/Apr 2021] SA Transport observations

Could be a combination of the tight angle of the turn and possibly the gradient (slightly uphill) when turning left. Possibly the same issue that prevents articulated trams from making some turns at that intersection, and why the western approach track had to be raised prior to the intersection.

Re: Sorry bus stops

Looks like there's nowhere for passengers to wait at stop 24A either, especially on the northern side. You would be literally standing on the road, and jumping off onto the road, into a queue of traffic behind the bus. Looks pretty dangerous.

There used to be a stop 42 on the Smart Rd bridge, directly above TTP Interchange. It was removed several years ago.

Re: [Mar/Apr 2021] SA Transport observations

Happy Easter is regularly shown on buses around this time of year. In fact I've seen it quite regularly for the last month or two. You probably wouldn't see it very often in the south or the hills though :wink:
