The Tonsley train station closure in Adealide’s South from the 28th of June is part of the 125 million dollar Flinders Link project to extend the railway line by 650 metres to Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre, and create a rail bridge over Main South Road.
One local is concerned the station might not reopen once work is complete saying the removal of the station will condemn a lot of residents with disabilities and frailties as well as the eldery.
This week’s State Budget will include 8 million dollars to allow some of the work and consultation to begin but the South Australian Government is not committed to reopen or rebuild it on the same site.
