  • This Paper Begins with a Specific Walk in London, but Is More
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Brighton Research Portal Neither Here nor There: Walking in forgotten territories* Luis Diaz University of Brighton A version of this paper was delivered at the Walk21 conference in Copenhagen, 2004. The Walk – Mile End Tube Station to Alphabet Square The walk begins at Mile End tube station (zone 2) in east London and ends at a residence. Exiting the tube station on Mile End Road you turn right on to Maplin Street. The street ends after 40 meters as it enters a housing estate; the pedestrian path continues straight onto a ‘bridge’ that does not, in fact, bridge anything. The estate consists of several four and six storey brick buildings and a pair of tower blocks. At the end of the bridge you turn left onto Hamlets Way for 30 meters and right onto English Street, a cul-de-sac. At the end is a primary school. Just before reaching the end you cut across what looks like a private courtyard fronting two brick houses to reach Southern Grove Street. This street is basically a road with two narrow pavements lined by walls on each side; on one side are the backs of houses and the school and on the other the wall of a cemetery. The vista down Southern Grove is dominated by a 24-storey tower block whose base consists of two storey Victorian terraces. At the end of the street you turn left on Ropery Street and enter an enclave of Victorian terraces.

  • Temporary Changes to Bus Services for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    Temporary changes to bus services for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Position as of June 2012 Temporary service changes during the 2012 Games Planning the temporary changes The London bus network will remain central to the day-to-day functioning of the Capital during the 2012 Games. It will also play a role in moving Games spectators and workers. In planning the temporary changes to the network, our objectives have been to: - Maintain London’s comprehensive bus network while accommodating any temporary changes on the road network - Enhance capacity where appropriate, to meet increased demand We have considered the impacts of temporary changes to the road network needed to deliver the Games, including the Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN). The temporary changes will include measures such as restricted turns and road closures. Where these changes require bus diversions, we have tried to maintain good passenger links as far as possible. We have also compared forecasts of spectator and workforce demand with existing capacity. Road events Further temporary changes will be needed on days when Games road events take place. Details are included on a day-by-day basis in the appendix. Service alterations are subject to change if operational requirements vary during the Games. The changes, and the need to ‘check before you travel’, will be publicised to passengers well in advance of the Games using a combination of print, online and on- board electronic information. Duration Where capacity is to be enhanced, this will be for the duration of the relevant events. Most of the east London enhancements will run from the day of the Opening Ceremony to the day of the Closing Ceremony.
