NORTHFIELD RAIL LINE

273 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008). Was any consideration given to re-opening the Northfield line and establishing a park and ride facility between Port Wakefield road and Main North road?

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

The State Government's $2 billion investment in Adelaide's metropolitan passenger rail network focuses on upgrading existing lines, as well as providing a new Coast to Coast light rail service. In particular, the program includes:

concrete re-sleepering of the metropolitan passenger rail network

electrification of the Noarlunga (including Tonsley), Outer Harbor, Grange and Gawler lines and the subsequent purchase of 50 new electric trains

gauge standardisation across the whole network

interchange, station and Park 'n' Ride infrastructure upgrades; and

further extension of the tramline to provide a coast to coast service running from Glenelg through the City, to West Lakes and on to Semaphore through the heart of Port Adelaide.

There is no intention at this time within this current investment program to re-open the Northfield line or to establish a park and ride facility between Port Wakefield road and Main North road.
