Accessibility

[edit]

Hi, I note that all of the stations are shown with a wheelchair symbol. While it may be true that they all have ramps of various types they may still fall short of being classed as 'DDA compliant' (Disability Discrimination Act) 203.6.146.34 (talk) 07:47, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Former branches east of the Outer Harbor line on Lefevre Peninsula

[edit]

Does anyone have a source for the development of branches and sidings east of this line? There used to be an ICI Osborne railway line branch just south of Osborne railway station which carried passengers until 1980, and presumably the Penrice Stone Train. The 1982 standardisation works were to add a new dual gauge branch between Largs North and Draper to service the existing broad gauge sidings, including the container berths. How were the container berths and other sidings accessed before 1982? When was the Largs North loop replaced by the Birkenhead loop?

This information may need to spread across this page and Dry Creek–Port Adelaide railway line which covers the current standard gauge main line, but at present the information doesn't appear to be in Wikipedia at all, and I'm failing to find good sources to add it. --Scott Davis Talk 03:00, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stopping patterns

[edit]

I've noticed that the explanation for the stopping patterns on this line are hard to understand, I've created a table in the style of Melbourne's metro lines that I believe would make this clearer, however I would like some feedback to improve it before I add it.

First government-owned railway in British Empire (?)

[edit]

I have tagged the sentence that states that the line was the first government-owned railway in the British Empire in light of its not being referenced and having recently seen a questioning by a noted railway historian in a manuscript held at the National Railway Museum.

Port Dock line

[edit]

Hi, I have noticed that the article is called the Outer Harbor and Port Dock lines even though the article is supposed to be only about the Outer Harbor line. The Port Dock line is a separate branch service that branches of the Outer Harbor line. I request making Port Dock line a separate article. NIRVAAN222222 (talk) 07:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
