TfL Vision of the Future map
TfL have unveiled a "future of transport" map which shows how the
Underground map (or rather "TfL map") would look in 2016 if they get funding for the projects they want to build. Some particular National Rail lines are included on the map as well as Crossrail 1, Thameslink 2000, the ELLX, Cross River Transit, DLR extensions, East London Transit, Greenwich Waterfront Transit, the West London Tram, the Croydon Tramlink extensions, the Croxley Link, Terminal 5 and Stratford International. It's very interesting! http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/_...nsport_map.pdf -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

It's very interesting! http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/_...nsport_map.pdf It's fascinating - but an awful lack of joined-up thinking from my point of view - why on earth can't they extend the proposed Cross River Transit from Brixton to Streatham, there to join up with the extended Croydon Tramlink? Since the buses have got much better, it's easier than it used to be to get a southbound bus from Brixton at this time of night (6.00 pm), but it's still common to have to wait, and it isn't pleasant! Much easier to be able to get down to Streatham, or possibly just as far as Herne Hill to join Thameslink services to Streatham..... -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 6 June 2004 |

Farringdon was going to get a new entrance building for Thameslink 2000 anyway, so maybe it'll also cope with the Crossrail entrance. * They've left the Moorgate Thameslink branch on there (as well as Shoreditch on the ELL) which might be misleading. And Watford (Met). I think they are more keen to enthuse people about new services than point out that current ones may be withdrawn, thus causing protests. Just look at the upset that has been caused by the fact that Richmond will lose its beloved District line to make way for Crossrail! Colin |

It was in Crossrail's original proposal for this branch in order to provide reversing facilities.

Except it wouldn't, because then you run into licensing and patent
issues...Which is why most people are switching away from GIFs to JPEGs and PNGs...Apart from anything else, PDFs tend to scale and print a lot There's no such issue with GIF any longer. The LZW patent (one of the compression technologies found in GIF) expired within the last year or so. |
