TRAM TRAINS

266 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008).

1. What is the projected cost of changing the platforms to wide bodied tram trains on the Glenelg to city west line?

2. When do you expect the tram trains to go 'coast to coast'?

3. Will all the Flexity classics be sold and replaced with tram trains or are they to be used on city loops?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information:

1. There are no plans to change platforms on the Glenelg to City West line and no projected costs are available.

2. The first stage of the coast to coast rail system to West Lakes is planned to be completed in 2015.

3. There is no intention to sell Flexity trams.
