    In a more short-term outcome, diverting every second Outer Harbor service to Port Dock will release a few DEMU cars to strengthen services elsewhere or account for the reduced availability for maintenance which will occur when weeknight services are stepped up on the Gawler and Outer Harbor lines.

    Is that what's happening, it will be Grange/Port Adelaide/Outer Harbor (say) 6 an hour or something like that? I read that the budget contained a very large boost in frequency for the O/H line. I wonder why they didn't use the existing turn back and 3rd platform available at Glanville in that case - its already there.
