Re: Adelaide train service
I used it when we first got here back in August.
If you'll be working in the city, it's fine. However, if you don't work in the city or walking distance from the station, don't expect train departures/arrivals to link up with buses.
The morning services are usually quite busy, particularly for the fast trains but from Hallett Cove there aren't many stops. It's definitely not as rammed as the tube is during rush hour.
Cheers

Re: Adelaide train service
I think the trains are pretty good here, some can be a bit run down, but over all they are fine. Multi trip tickets are the best, they are about $25 for 10 trips and each trip is valid for 2 hours - which means you can get on one bus/train/tram or 20 within that 2 hours for just the one trip.
Times tables, ticket prices etc are all on www.adelaidemetro.com.au
