Sažetak Gradovi Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne i Liverpool su europski gradovi sa različitim sustavom podzemne željeznice čiji razvoj odgovara ekonomskoj situaciji gradskih središta. Trenutno stanje pojedinih podzemno željeznićkih sustava i njihova primjenjena tehnologija uvelike odražava stanje razvoja javnog gradskog prijevoza i mreže javnog gradskog prometa. Svaki od prijevoznika u podzemnim željeznicama u tim gradovima ima različiti tehnički pristup obavljanja javnog gradskog prijevoza te korištenjem optimalnim brojem motornih prijevoznih jedinica osigurava zadovoljenje potreba javnog gradskog i metropolitanskog područja grada. Kroz usporedbu tehničkih podataka pojedinih podzemnih željeznica može se uvidjeti i zaključiti koji od sustava podzemnih željeznica je veći i koje oblike tehničkih rješenja koristi. Ključne riječi: Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne, Liverpool, podzemna željeznica, javni gradski prijevoz, linija, tip vlaka, tvrtka, prihod, cijena.

  • The Left Wing
    Napoleon divides his forces: the left wing. The situation until about 2 p.m. By 10.30 a.m. Napoleon expected Reille, unless he would face resistance, to place his corps astride the Brussels road one or two lieues (4.5 or 9 kilometres) to the north. Though Reille’s orders where to cross the Sambre had been ambiguous (Marchienne-au-Pont and Charleroi), his target remained the same. Around the same time, having crossed the Sambre at Marchienne-au-Pont, d’Erlon was directed to take up a position on the road leading from there towards Fontaine-l’Evêque – Binche – Mons, thereby at the same time linking up with Reille in such a way to support him, if needed. There is no clear point up to where d’Erlon was to advance (as it was with Reille), but d’Erlon was also to reconnoitre in the direction of Mons and Nivelles. It is a first step in the further development of the left wing which would form part of the grand strategy of the central position. It is important to note that d’Erlon was supposed to support Reille, and not vice versa, as it was expected that he could face enemy resistance first. A possible main threat as coming from Wellington was apparently seen from the line Mons – Binche – Fontaine l’Evêque, but not such that it was expected that d’Erlon would need any support from Reille. The situation after about 2 p.m. Having been informed about a Prussian presence at Gosselies, Napoleon – at Belle Vue - drew in the front-line of his left wing more to the north-east by ordering both the 2nd and 1st corps to go there.
