Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Seaford and Tonsley Railway Line Closure Seaford and Tonsley Railway Line Closure The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Seaford and Tonsley Railway Line Closure The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:06): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Leader of the Government, representing the Minister for Transport, a question about the Seaford and Tonsley line closures. Leave granted. The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: I have been contacted by a constituent with regard to the partial closure of the Seaford and Tonsley lines from 13 April until 6 May. I understand the closure is necessary to allow connection of the Oaklands crossing grade separation to the rail network. Notwithstanding the fact that my constituent catches this service over 10 times a week, they were not aware of the closure until a friend of theirs advised them of it. I am advised that there is no notice at the station nor at the Adelaide terminus. My constituent signed up to the My Metro alerts years ago and all they receive notification of is free services for the football, via both text and email. They have never received any information on this planned closure. My questions to the minister are: why has the closure not been more widely publicised to commuters? Why has there not been a notice sent out via the My Metro system, especially to those who have nominated to be updated about this route? Finally, has consideration been given to continuing to run train services between Adelaide to Edwardstown, in addition to Brighton to Seaford, in order to minimise disruption? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:07): I thank my colleague. I am happy to take that question on notice and bring back a reply.
