Adelaide public transport

I'm heading into Adelaide from Craigmore tomorrow.
What's the quickest way to get into the city via public transport at the moment, given the works happening on the railway?

I can:

A) Catch train to Mawson Lakes and then bus in city

or is it easier to:

B) Catch the 228, or whatever the route is called now, from Elizabeth Downs through to Adelaide?

Anyone know?

Either mate, 228 would be the best bet, just be a longer journey. The train fiasco is somewhat annoying, I had to take my lad and his friend to Royal Park yesterday for a dexterity test and I had no idea how to get around the train problem.

I've just sorted out the schedule for both and yep, I reckon you'd have to have pretty good dexterity to manage the train bus fiasco at Mawson Lakes ;)

Might do the 228, takes me most of the way to my first appointment too.

I'm catching the 228 that will get me to the city at about 9.30.
My first appointment is at 10. All good.

Ha! Honestly mate, I don't mind using public transport when I get the chance. It's just that the Gawler line situation makes it a little more complicated at the moment.
I could've had the car but thought I'd leave it with Mrs WD.
Plus, I can have a few beers in the arvo once the formal side of my meetings are done ;)
Public transport is sooooo much funnier after a few beers.

Stirring mate ;) We have a peanut at work that I bag all of the time because he comes here late and makes up for it by leaving early.
