Why not just terminate rail line at Adamstown gates to make way for housing?

How's this for a solution to the Glebe Road gates fiasco? Terminate trains at Adamstown Station, and use the not-undermined railway land between there and Wickham Station to build flats.

We could also build a road along the route for motorists to get into town to see the nuclear submarines, but only at 30kmh. By then, the Hannell Street/Stewart Avenue afternoon car park will be down to speed without the left-hand turn lane into King Street, and Orica will be using the otherwise empty Hunter Street shops to store its ammonium nitrate. That will really put Newcastle on the map, or remove it all together.
