Public transport users have been advised of scheduled rail line closures affecting the Outer Harbor, Port Dock, and Grange lines over the weekend of December 14-15, 2024. The temporary disruption is to facilitate upgrades at the Jane Street, West Croydon pedestrian crossing. During this period, all train services between Adelaide Railway Station and the Outer Harbor, Port Dock, and Grange Railway Stations will be replaced by substitute buses.
Substitute buses will operate according to the existing train schedules as much as possible. However, passengers should be aware that traffic conditions and roadworks may cause delays. For detailed information on substitute bus operations, passengers can refer to the Adelaide Metro website.
The affected rail services during this weekend include:
– OUTHA services between Outer Harbor and the City
– PTDOCK services between Port Dock and the City
– GRNG services between Grange and the City
Full rail services are scheduled to resume at the start of the working week on Monday, December 16, 2024.
For passengers travelling from Adelaide Railway Station to the affected suburbs, the H1 substitute bus route will cover Outer Harbor and Port Dock destinations. Meanwhile, the G1 route will cater to passengers heading towards Grange Railway Station. Strategic placement of bus stops close to the usual train stations will ensure minimal disruption to regular travellers’ daily commutes.
The central substitute bus stop in the city will be located at Stop W1 on North Terrace.
To ensure that the transition from train to bus is as smooth as possible, Adelaide Metro advises passengers to view the service disruption details on their website, which provides comprehensive information on the closures and the substitute services.
Adelaide Metro has made provisions for the accessibility of substitute buses. They are designed to accommodate passengers with mobility aids, the elderly, and those traveling with prams. Should there be any issues with fitting larger mobility devices on the bus, Adelaide Metro encourages passengers to contact the Torrens Transit depot to arrange for an accessible taxi between stations. It’s important to note that this service does not provide door-to-door transport but facilitates easier movement between stations.
Bicycles cannot be carried on the substitute bus services during this temporary closure.
