The Overland no longer stops at Tailem Bend.

So obviously the citizens of Tailem Bend can't be trusted with a interstate service.

A Commuter style of operation IMHO needs to get to Adelaide station to be viable,
terminating at Keswick is too far out of town to be customer friendly.  This is of
course complicated by the fact Tailem Bend is on the 'Narrow Gauge', whereas only BG
penetrates Adelaide.

I wonder, what is the running time Tailem Bend - Adelaide road vs rail?
