Settle down, it's not quite that bad
. While some lines are indeed closed (Noarlunga, Tonsley and Belair), the remaining lines are operational. Bus substitutes are available for the closed lines. In addition, the Adelaide Train Station is closed meaning you have to catch a substitute bus. More info

9 JANUARY 2013 LARGE TRACK PANEL LIFT- 2 x 250 Tonne Crawler Cranes
The Adelaide Railway Station (ARS) will be closed between 2 January and 3 February 2013 (the quietest time of the year), for coordinated and accelerated major rail and project works.
Works are being coordinated to complete the track upgrade of Adelaide’s rail network (including the city rail yard), electrification of the Noarlunga and Tonsley lines, building a rail underpass at Goodwood to improve travel times, accelerating works on the Adelaide Convention Centre expansion and improving facilities at Adelaide Railway Station.
These coordinated works aim to reduce the overall disruption to passengers and provide construction efficiencies that deliver best value for money to taxpayers.
During this time
- Gawler line trains will terminate at North Adelaide and will connect to substitute bus services.
- Noarlunga, Tonsley and Belair lines will be closed and substitute bus services will operate.
- Outer Harbor and Grange line trains will terminate at Woodville and will connect to substitute bus services.
- During the month-long Adelaide Railway Station closure, travelling on a train line, or on substitute buses to cover train lines, will be free.
- Convention centre works will be accelerated.
