Adelaide Metro, or Trans Adelaide in South Australia are in the process of developing tram-trains.
They are purchasing 15 new dual voltage trams as well as 4 additional Flexity Classic trams which they currently use.
The new dual voltage trams will operate alongside electric trains and use the existing Outer Harbor line and then travel to AAMI Stadium and West Lakes on a new track built from the Grange line.
Another extension will be built from Semaphore, linking back through the heart of Port Adelaide from Rosewater. The 4 additional Flexity Classic trams will be added for the initial Entertainment Centre service.
This will be the first 'tram-train' system in Australia.
