The areas around Gawler and the un-used railway lines are a huge potential area for low to medium urbanisation or urban fringe development. A DMU service to either Kapunda or Hamley Bridge would be relatively inexpensive and could encourage commuter belt low density in an area where its suited to it, light industry, market garden farming etc etc.Heath - if we're going to have an armchair conversation about restoring rail services in SA why not think about a DMU service to Virginia or the Barrosa instead. Mt Barker has multiple problems with it - not the least of which is the fact that compared to the road journey it's simply too slow.A recent RAA survey I participated in included questions about extending Adelaide Metro services to Mt Barker, Roseworthy and the Barossa Valley. I pointed out the problems with extending to Mt Barker but I did think it interesting the others were mentioned.Richard.
A much better idea than a Mt Barker train in my opinion.
