Idea for Hobart riverline

Post by Myrtone »

The southernmost section of the railway to Hobart has been vacant since 2014. I remember hearing about the closure of this section of track and thinking about a light rail along there. If the light rail is mostly on off-street track, one idea would be to electrify off-street track with third rail power with batteries to power the fleet on the short street running sections.

Another idea is closing the Bay road level crossing, being near a rail bridge over another road, and renaming the part of Bay road south of the line Bellevue Parade, and also removing a lot of pedestrian level crossings.
