Kings Cross to Liverpool Street Via 13 Stations Walk
Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk All London’s railway terminals, the three royal parks, the River Thames and the City Length 21.3km (13.3 miles) for the whole walk, but it is easily split into smaller sections: see Walk Options below Toughness 1 out of 10 - entirely flat, but entirely on hard surfaces: definitely a walk to wear cushioned trainers and not boots. Features This walk links (and in many cases passes through) all thirteen London railway terminals, and tells you something of their history along the way. But its attractions are not just limited to railway architecture. It also passes through the three main Central London parks - Regent’s Park, Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and St James's Parks - and along the Thames into and through the City of London*. It takes in a surprising number of famous sights and a number of characteristic residential and business areas: in fact, if you are first time visitor to London, it is as good an introduction as any to what the city has to offer. Despite being a city centre walk, it spends very little of its time on busy roads, and has many idyllic spots in which to sit or take refreshment. In the summer months you can even have an open air swim midway through the walk in Hyde Park's Serpentine Lido. (* The oldest part of London, now the financial district. Whenever the City, with a capital letter, is used in this document, it has this meaning.) Walk Being in Central London, you can of course start or finish the walk wherever Options you like, especially at the main railway stations that are its principal feature.

The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne's Outer Circle Railway
The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne’s Outer Circle Railway Trevor McKenna, B.A. Dip. Ed. This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (By Research) Faculty of Education and the Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria, 3353 Australia Submitted for re-examination 7 December, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines a little known railway line in Melbourne, the Outer Circle Railway (OCR) running from Oakleigh in the south-east to Fairfield in the north. There is great significance to its east-north trajectory, because I will argue, it was conceptualised as a major part of the Melbourne system, for the future; a future that ostensibly lasted only two years, before the economic depression of the 1890s caused it to close in stages. It further brought in many more strands to the Melbourne transport nexus, as it circumnavigated the inner suburbs. I ask the key question ‘was the Outer Circle Railway a lost opportunity’? Though considered one of the great public transport cities of the world, Melbourne with its extensive rail and tramway networks succumbed to the winds of change, embodied by the Fordist principles of private car ownership, freeway building and traffic systems. The public transport budget was cut in the second half of the twentieth century – leaving Greater Melbourne in constant gridlock, in the twenty-first century. I use documentary analysis to examine primary and secondary documents, to comprehend whether the almost immediate denigration of the OCR, by newspapers and most historians, was warranted.

Postmark Is the Most Connected Neighbourhood the World Capital Has Ever Known
An Address Like No Other First Class The transformation of a landmark site in the true centre of London, Postmark is the most connected neighbourhood the world capital has ever known. Embracing two boroughs – one in west London; one in east – this nascent address is like no other. For the first time, two Zone 1 postcodes – WC1 and EC1 – are being London united to create a magnetic fusion of the energetic, eclectic East and traditional, iconic West. Over six hundred bespoke apartments, plus retail and open spaces, will rise up on the flagship site of the historic Royal Mail Mount Living Pleasant sorting office to create a super-connected new community.

A Qualitative Evaluation of a Proposed Metro Map for Melbourne's
GSR_3 Geospatial Science Research 3. School of Mathematical and Geospatial Science, RMIT University December 2014 Going around in circles? A qualitative evaluation of a proposed metro map for Melbourne’s underground system. William Cartwright School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences at RMIT University, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract: When cities develop a rail network – above or under ground – this is usually accompanied by the publication of a metro map. The map is an essential adjunct, produced and provided to commuters to facilitate informed use of the system. It is generally agreed that the exemplar metro map is that of the London Underground, designed by Harry Beck, in 1931. Beck’s design principles have been copied, modified and adopted by numerous public transport bodies, when producing maps of their own system. His map is regarded as a design classic, and used as the lodestone when judging the effectiveness of other metromaps. Recently, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) developed a new design for a metromap for the rail system for Melbourne, Australia. This design is greatly based on Beck’s design ideas. As part of the press release, PTV sought passenger feedback on its proposed new design. It is refreshing to see that an organisation like Public Transport Victoria has taken the initiative to implement a new design, and to seek public feedback on this design. However, is this new design effective, or just ‘more of the same’? Is the map no different, and perhaps no better, than previous maps of the Melbourne metropolitan rail system, or a great improvement on what was previously published? Are we just going around in circles? This paper provides the results of an evaluation of this proposal for a new map for the Melbourne metropolitan rail system.
