There's already preliminary plans to extend the railway line further south isn't there?I'm no authority but I think there's a plan to have a plan. I seem to even recall that some/all of the corridor may have been reserved but someone else might be able to confirm. From memory there was also an article about one of planned location of one of the stations caused some consternation with the locals.A friend of mine's retired dad lives at Aldinga and he's been complaining about the advent of the McMansion estates proliferating around the area so I'm guessing the process of Adelaide spreading its tentacles there is already under way. Perth is spreading further north and south along it's coastline so it makes sense that Adelaide would be doing the same thing.
EDIT - here is the relevant RP thread http://www.railpage.com.au/f-p1737815.htm
I've never taken much notice of the area, does anyone know what the terrain is like from Seaford through to Aldinga? according to maps it doesn't look like there's any rivermouth to overcome unlike Seaford.
If it goes ahead, once again Willunga residents should have some kind of rail access to the CBD - 8 mins drive to Aldinga Beach according to Google, I've driven further than that from Woodcroft to Hallett Cove to catch a train to town!
