I am going with ... No ...Aaaand Saturday was announced by one CF last night, anyone else note that she hardly sounded confident when interviewed on the opening? I also note she said the bustitutes would be running on both Saturday and Sunday. I'll believe the line is open when the trains are running...
It's been used before, for storing track machines.I saw a Jumbo consist there one weekday morning only a couple of years ago. I imagine that it was there on some sort of test run, or to get out of the way of scheduled services while on the way up to tow a broken 3000 consist home from Belair.

I guess there must be good reasons for using the siding other than to irk Heath.

At Blackwood station one of the Wilson security guards was asking the driver if the line was back in service seems they didnt really know either.Drivers with Light City Buses didn't know what was happening either, a couple of weeks ago I got on a 601 at Blackwood after dropping my bike off with my mechanic and the driver asked me if the train had stopped yet as he didn't want to leave passengers behind. And that was with a "BELAIR LINE REOPENING JULY 14" sign posted on the bus stop pole, in clear sight from his position at the front of the bus.

Communication between the different service providers seems to be very low.
Interesting article on page 16 of todays Sunday Fail about workers at the Goodwood Underpass work site getting death threats from residents!!!!
Im gonna guess its either because of the noise levels in the area or the fact the Noarlunga Line has been closed for 8 months.My guess would be that it would be due to houses cracking and crumbling due to the vibrations associated with the work, and that the government doesn't want to know about it.

Main complaint mentioned in the article was Dust and NoiseWell all I can say to them all is get a life for Gods sake. A major thing like that you have got to expect a bit of inconvenience for a while, it is not like they were not warned about the dust and noise. These idiots that think that digging a great hole in the ground can be done without any dust or noise are just not all there, you have to expect something. Common sense not being used here by the looks.
Yet I've heard next to no grumbles about all the South Rd disruptions through Regency Park. (Far far worse than Goodwood )Hmm - I was told on the weekend, that more than a few very personally directed threats were delivered to a particular DPTI senior manager, who some short time later found some other concreting work to go and do at the other end of Adelaide, where their engaging personality again brought love, peace and harmony to the (new) local community.
Go figure!
Edit: Curse the word replacer!
