Interestingly, an ad for a baker on the pamphlet definitively dates this map to 1957, but trams along Cavendish Road (to the south east of the map, and where my mother lived at the time) ceased operation in 1955 and were replaced by trolley buses. Perhaps the map just makes no distinction between the two, although copy on the reverse side still asks riders to “take the Cavendish Road tram”.

Hi Cameron, 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划I would like to mention that I greatly appreciate y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划work and have learned lots about 澳洲10开官网开奖 from y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog alone. It was also this blog that inspired me to try to design my own maps. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a great joy to me now. Here, I would like to share with you my take on the network in Valencia which, I thought, would be a fun challenge. For the line and station design, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve chosen a similar style to one that I used in my Bay Area diagram. My goal was to make the Valencia map more aesthetically pleasing, simplify the geometry, and come up with a different idea for the zone boundaries. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion and things you think can be improved. Looking forward to it!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Apart from one thing (which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll get to later), I absolutely adore🔸澳洲幸运10预测 this diagram, Tom. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, I love the typeface used (Cera Pro), which has a wonderful legibility to it as well as having one of the best sans serif capital Q🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s I have ever seen – just lovely. The open feeling that Cera Pro creates continues throughout the rest of the diagram, which feels clean and spacious throughout – nothing is crammed up tight to anything else, which is so nice to see.

Unlike the official diagram [review from June 2022 here – Cam] which doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t bother with any sort of mode differentiation (it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s all just “Metrovalencia”), Tom🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagram differentiates between the more suburban rail lines and the urban tram lines in two subtle but very effective ways. The rail lines are cased with a darker shade of their line col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划and🔸澳洲幸运10预测 use a much larger radius 🔸澳洲开奖 they change direction compared to the tram lines. These larger curves are another part of what makes this diagram so elegant, but the tram lines need tighter radiuses, especially for the loop Line 4 makes at its eastern end – Tom🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s solution accommodates both needs.

Other nice design touches: subtle drop shadows throughout lift the station markers up above the route lines; the texture on the sea is delightful; and the zone backgrounds are lovely and subtle – a far cry from the “in y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划face” colours used on the 168澳洲十开奖网. They may actually be just a tad too🔸澳洲幸运10预测 subtle, but I appreciate the different approach. The diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s legend is clean, easy to understand and is integrated nicely into the overall design of the piece, instead of being an afterthought.

So what🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the one thing I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t like? The exaggerated angle that the urban area of the diagram takes. In reality, Valencia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “north” is tilted about 20 degrees clockwise from true north, and the maritime district isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t that much further south than the historic core of the city. So seeing everything rotated on a huge 45-degree angle, with the maritime district pushed so far south (and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències pushed even further out of place), just looks jarringly wrong. The distinctive “green belt” of the old Turia River parkland mitigates this somewhat, but it still looks strange to my eyes.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A stylish, elegant diagram with a lot of modern design touches that perhaps strays just a little too far from being grounded by the real world layout of the city it represents. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still pretty darn awesome.

I’ve been a fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划work for a while now, and thought I’d submit my own work for judgement.

I’ve had a crack at designing a map for an as-yet non-existent tram and bus network for Bristol, UK, a city in dire need of reliable, integrated public transport. It would operate as a network of 19 tram lines in and around the urban area of Bristol, with five ‘metrobus’ routes linking the city to nearby commuter towns. Whilst there’s still a huge struggle between residents of the city, campaign groups and the city’s councils, I tried to envisage what a network could one day look like.

I had a few problems in terms of design, particularly trying to distinguish the separate bus routes apart from the rest of the tram network. The city centre orbital route also operates as part of each branch line, with trains running clockwise before branching out into the suburbs, and needed to find a way of denoting this (eventually with arrows and graduated lines).

I’d look forward to hearing y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Thanks for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划submission, Elliott! I like both the way this diagram looks and y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划boundless ambition 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to envisioning a future for transit in Bristol! While normally I steer clear of commenting on the feasibility of networks depicted in 🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网s, I will just say that running the trams from 19 feeder lines around a one-way downtown loop sounds a little… problematic🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

That aside, the diagram is certainly striking, with its central focal point and use of only 90-degree angles. The liberal use of locality names throughout the map mitigates the lack of geographical cues, though it might still be hard work for non-locals to relate this diagram to the real world. The choice to show that central loop as a solid black with all the other lines fading into it is probably a wise one, though it might be a good idea to not use black (or any really dark colours) for any of the other lines – note how Lines 4 and 12 take on more prominence because that fading effect is not present: it almost looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one through-running route between the two termini.

A few thoughts – I think y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划station labelling is a little small. A good starting point is to make the x-height of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labels the same height as the thickness of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划route lines and see how that looks/adjust from there. The typeface used, while clean and distinctive has a few quirks that hamper legibility: the ampersand (&) looks way too much like a lower-case “e” for my liking, and Oldstyle numerals – where some characters are smaller than others or drop below the baseline – are something I find just a bit too idiosyncratic for good transit map design. If y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划typeface is an Opentype font, you may be able to change the numerals from “Oldstyle” to “Lining”, where all the glyphs are of equal height and always sit uniformly on the baseline.

I have to say that I found it hard work to differentiate between the tram and bus routes at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance: while the bus routes are🔸澳洲幸运10预测 thinner than the tram routes, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not enough to be able to quickly tell them apart. Some things to consider might be an obviously different line style or distinctive col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划for the bus lines, and maybe changing the shape of the bullets to a square instead of a circle for that instant visual difference.

Another thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see is y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划line numbering doing more work to help make sense of the system. At the moment, it all seems a little random. You could maybe number the routes sequentially in order clockwise around the map, starting from the 12-o🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页clock position and paying close attention to the ending position of any branching lines to keep them in the correct sequential order – the outer terminus of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1a should appear before🔸澳洲幸运10预测 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1b, for example: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the other way around on the diagram at present. Alternatively, you could perhaps bundle routes from each “exit point” of the downtown loop with related numbers… maybe “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T1″ through “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T5″ for all the routes that exit via 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Temple Meads, for example. Either of these approaches would also have the advantage of bundling all the routes together properly in the legend. Using the above example, all the Temple Meads services would run neatly after each other instead of being spread randomly throughout the legend as they currently are. Routes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; or routes T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 both make a lot more sense than routes 4, 7, 8, 17 and 18! Help y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划users find the information they need!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A really well-drawn diagram of this expansive fantasy network: it just needs a little more attention to detail to really make it work for me. A great start!

I would like to share the TRAM d🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页Alacant fare zone map. It describes the different zones and stops of this tramway/narrow gauge train in the Spanish province of Alacant (Alicante). It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been reopened recently after six years of renovation works.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a fairly solid diagram that shares a lot of design language with the transit map of Valencia (reviewed in July 2022). This is perhaps understandable, as it seems that the Generalitat Valenciana has at least overseen the design of both maps. Like Valencia, the main urban area (Zone A) has been expanded in relation to the rest of the map, which is basically one corridor running up the coast to Dénia some 45 miles/70 kilometres away. The city is similarly represented more geographically, while the outer reaches are diagrammatic with evenly spaced stations from one end to the other.

Line 3 (Yellow) acts a local service for Line 1 (Red), which runs express within the urban limits of Alacant most🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the time – the legend explains that 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and last trains each day on Line 1 stop at all stations. This is indicated by the red line being visible through the white “shared station” symbol, which I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find particularly intuitive – I wonder whether a dot on Line 3 with a longer tick line crossing Line 1 would have been more effective?

I have two main issues with this otherwise competent diagram. First, the representation of the coastline is overly fussy and poorly drawn. Do we need the little bumps near Benidorm? Or the wharf (or whatever the heck that is) near Calp? And if it is somehow important to show the port/marina area in Alacant itself, then show it properly🔸澳洲幸运10预测, instead of cutting it off at the bottom of the canvas. The non-standard angles at the top of the diagram used to represent Cap Martí drive me insane.

Secondly, the legend looks like an afterthought just thrown down wherever. As with the Valencia map, the legend inexplicably gets broken up by a zone boundary 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s plenty of room to fit it all within Zone B🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s space. The typesetting is also poor – some entries have a very long 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划line (longer than an optimal reading length) and then a very short second line. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be much better to balance those lines evenly to create a more compact, readable block of text. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m also a proponent of always starting a new line with each change of language, instead of running them one after another on a single line – it just makes it explicit that a change is taking place.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Competent enough, but let down by some strangely unpolished design choices with the coastline and legend. Does the job.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划map (above) is a nicely reworked version of that 2019 attempt, and addresses a lot of the issues that I had with it at the time. The removal of most of the diamond shapes makes for a less contrived design; type is larger throughout; design elements are applied more consistently; and the addition of Thameslink services to the map really helps with the overall balance of the design – filling in a lot of the empty space south of the Thames. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect, but this is a pretty solid attempt 🔸澳洲开奖 working within the confines of the way that the rail network is currently defined – the line names, colours and modes (e.g., Tube lines all get individual colours, but all of the Overground is relegated to the same orange).

However, the second map is where Ken throws everything out and starts completely anew, and this is where things get interesting🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

On this map, all the traditional Tube Map nomenclature (Piccadilly, Bakerloo, etc.) has been reduced in importance and the many and varied route colours have been consolidated to instead represent different travel modes – deep Tube (blue), sub-surface Tube (green), Overground (salmon), Crossrail (purple representing both the Elizabeth Line and Thameslink), elevated rail (retaining the DLR🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s teal), and tram (a dull olive). One could argue that differentiating between deep and sub-surface Tube lines as separate modes is splitting hairs, but the extra col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划does help give some definition and form to the map, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll allow it. Ken says that the chosen colours work well for colour-blind users, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d still like to see a little tweaking of them to make for a brighter, more visually appealing palette.

Alongside this new approach, Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worked hard to encode service pattern information into the map, using a detailed legend and colour-coded terminus markers. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a startlingly comprehensive approach, and very much at odds with the current Tube Map, which makes absolutely no attempt to show service patterns. The terminus markers are perhaps a bit small for my liking, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not sure that Johnston Sans works that well reversed out of a coloured background at those small sizes. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d look for a complementary, less idiosyncratic sans serif that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸bolder for this information… a new approach is allowed to use a new typeface 🔸澳洲开奖 it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s needed! The legend itself could also use a bit of work to make it more readable and consistent… the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划column has sub-entries indented, but columns two and three don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t, for example. Good information design principles should also apply to a map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s supporting information! Speaking of which, you may have noticed that Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s maps dispense with zone and accessibility information altogether. As he has noted, this information is all listed in the station index on the back of the printed journey planner, so does it need to be duplicated on the map itself?

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll note here that one thing I do love about Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s maps is his sense of humour… Pink Floyd🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “flying pig” is floating above Battersea Power Station, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a new “Wombling Free” station on the District Line between Southfields and Wimbledon Park – completing the full title for the map, “Underground, Overground, Wombling Free“. Presumably the station serves nearby Wimbledon Common?

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Most transit map designers are content with one attempt at reworking the Tube Map, but Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s come back for seconds and 🔸澳洲幸运10预测thirds like some kind of map-making Hobbit. Most other designers are also content to remain within the existing fabric of the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s design language, but Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not afraid to throw it all out and start from scratch, and for that he has to be commended. It may not be everyone🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s cup of tea, but at least it can start a discussion about possible alternatives to the current 168澳洲十开奖网.

I would like to share with you the new Metrovalencia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s network map, whose design has been updated with the opening of the new Line 10 this year. The main reason why the transit operator decided to redesign it from scratch instead of just adding the new line layout is because they wanted to start avoiding using diagonal-axis labels on it, as they think horizontal labels are more accessible for people with intellectual disability.

But there are more differences:

• Tram services now are represented again with solid lines, as it was in the previous map before the 2015🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s redesign, ending with the differentiation from the “metro” ones. This could be because the new Line 10 is such a mix, operated with tramway units but with underground stations in the city center. But maybe this rule could have been maintained using the two-toned line for the street-runing sections and the solid line style for traffic segregated sections, for example.
• They🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve included some spatial references, such as the curves of the subway tunnel between Àngel Guimerà and Xàtiva or Ayora and Marítim, or the Pont de Fusta loop, which before they were in a straight line.
• As almost all the city center stations are shared by different lines, now all of them are officially transfer stations. The map also points 🔸澳洲开奖 in the same station different lines stop in different platforms (e.g. Alameda). The old transfer icon now represents intermodal stations where the users can change from subway to tramway lines or vice versa (except in Bailén/Alacant, maybe because they consider they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re different stations?).
• It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s drawn the future underground moving walkway which will be built to connect Xàtiva and Alacant stations as the project to extend the line some meters more with a new station for Line 10 built in Xàtiva was cancelled. Now, this connection just can be done walking on the street as the woman icon pretends to explain.
• In this new map version, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s represented the stations where some routes can end 🔸澳洲开奖 they run as partial routes, with the line icon near its label.
• The transit operator decided to reduce the number of fare zones from 4 to just 2 (plus the Airport fare zone), so now there are some stations that belong to both zones represented by this background color overlap.

A similar design has been created also for the TRAM of Alicante, which is run by the same transit operator, so now both cities shares the same map style (but with different typeface: Titillium for Metrovalencia and Rotis for TRAM).

I would appreciate if you could check this version and tell us y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion about if all these changes and new additions have been really an improvement or just unnecessary with the previous map design [from 2015; review here – Cam] as a reference.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some things I really like about this diagram and there are others I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not so fond of… so let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s start with the good!

Metrovalencia is a bit of an odd system in that it freely combines street-running trams, a full metro including subways, and commuter rail that runs far out into the surrounding countryside, all under one umbrella. So I really don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t mind that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no attempt made at mode differentiation here – these lines are all part of Metrovalencia, and are all treated equally. What I really do🔸澳洲幸运10预测 like is that the central Zone A is presented with a good degree of spatial accuracy, and the map then gets progressively more diagrammatic the further out it gets. This condenses those far-flung lines (especially Line 1 to the south) rather wonderfully. Presumably, the way that stops are grouped along those lines reflects the different built-up urban areas along each route – though it does perhaps just end up looking a bit haphazard. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be interested in seeing an alternative where the stops are always evenly spaced: it might just look a little more harmonious.

The overlapping zones are drawn about as neatly as they can be, though I do think they could be a bit lighter in tone. As it stands, it seems like some of the route colours have had to be strengthened quite a lot to compete with the background – Line 1 is more of a dull gold than its previous goldenrod yellow, for example. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also unfortunate that the dark gold outline for Zone A passes right through the middle🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s legend!

The new interchange markers are definitely an improvement over the previous version, clearly indicating 🔸澳洲开奖 passenger movement between platforms or modes is required. The weakest interchange design is at Empalme, where Line 1 takes a 90-degree turn underneath 🔸澳洲幸运10预测the marker, which is generally regarded as bad design practice.

Finally, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to note that this diagram takes the approach of using a crossed-out wheelchair icon to indicate the one and only non-accessible station at Valencia Sud, which is fair enough.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A definite improvement in my eyes, though still not truly outstanding. By my reckoning, this is at least the third🔸澳洲幸运10预测 totally different design for the Metrovalencia diagram since 2009 (🔸澳洲开奖 I visited the city and rode the network), which is fairly rapid turnover and doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really speak to a consistent design language for the network.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Source: Metrovalencia website

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no secret that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been somewhat skeptical of radial diagrams in the past – seeing them as perhaps a little too flashy for their own good and often being applied to cities where the topology simply doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t suit such an arrangement – so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s fantastic to see one that works really, really well. Cologne is a very radial city, with major roads radiating out from the central core and mainline trains from the south having to loop around much of the western half of the city to get to the Hauptbahnhof, so the choice of a radial diagram is very appropriate.

The new diagram also executed superbly, with a great sense of balance and clarity to it. It definitely seems less cluttered than the previous version, even though it shows the same information. Intelligent choices have been made where the lines can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t fit into the radial scheme and very little feels forced or out of place. The one bit that doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite ring true to me is the placement of the Messe/Deutz station, which in real life is a straight shot across the Hohenzollern Bridge from the Haupthahnhof. However, within the limitations imposed by the radial structure, it works well enough.

The decision to remove the blobby fare zone boundary and replace it with subtle dashed tarifgrenze🔸澳洲幸运10预测 markers along each line is inspired and immediately makes the new diagram feel lighter and more spacious without the drab grey background surrounding the central part of the diagram.

Also of note is that this diagram calls out stations that are not🔸澳洲幸运10预测 accessible with a struck-through wheelchair icon, reversing the normal method of denoting accessible stations with an icon (as seen on the 2021 map). This is something that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a point of contention in transit map design, with some designers saying that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a bad design practice to use an icon that shows a lack🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of something. However, you can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t deny that it makes the map so much cleaner 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only a few stations that don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t provide barrier-free access like here!

Finally, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to note that while the design agency is the same for both diagrams – Die Informationsdesigner, based in Cologne – the new map gives credit to Benedikt Schmitz, who designed an award-winning radial map of Cologne as part of his bachelor🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s thesis at the Cologne International School of Design in 2018. His design definitely forms the backbone of the new 168澳洲十开奖网, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s great to see his contribution be officially recognised.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Probably the best radial transit diagram that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen so far. It shows that this design style can be used for a real-world application 🔸澳洲开奖 the style suits the city that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s being used for.

I have created a map of the Amsterdam tram network as it was in 1930. In this year, the network reached its greatest extent in terms of number of lines: 25.

It was rather easy to find out the trajectory of each line, as there are plenty of digitised resources available online. I used another map I created last year of the current tram network as a base, and made the appropriate changes from there. I mainly wanted to show the underlying structure of the network in 1930 (which is strikingly similar to today🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s) and the trajectory of each individual line.

Initially, I didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t plan on including individual stops, primarily because I couldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find a good source for it. Someone else pointed me to a digitised copy of a booklet from 1930, including all stops for each line, available online via the website of the ‘Stadsarchief Amsterdam🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 (Amsterdam city archives). That allowed me to figure out where the stops would have been back then, though I didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t label them, as that would have distracted from the original purpose of this map.

The map legend shows all lines with their route signs as they were in shown on the front and back end of each car, including the original line colours. These line colours are still displayed on today🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s (digital) tram displays, though they have lost their original meaning a long time ago.

If you want to read more about the design process, please visit my blog. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s in Dutch, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m confident Google Translate will do a pretty decent job translating it to English [I can confirm that this is the case – Cam].

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Now, this is a project that I heartily endorse, having now done many similar maps myself. And this one🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a beauty that really highlights just how similar the network in 1930 is to that of the modern day: there may be less routes now, but they still traverse much the same routes as then.

What really makes this piece work for me is the attention to detail. The diagram uses multiples of 30 degrees to draw its route lines—immediately evocative of a hexagon—so Alain uses the hexagon as a motif throughout the map. Numbered route bullets, station dots and even the decorative border framing the diagram all get the treatment, yet it never looks overdone and the whole design remains nicely understated. Particularly nice is how the symbol for one-way stops are a “slice” made by overlapping two hexagons and removing the part where they both overlap. Both the rather lovely typeface and the old-time spelling of place names give the diagram some lovely verisimilitude as well – these really sell it as a period piece.

I also welcome the inclusion of the distinctive coloured patterns used on each route🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s headboard in the legend, as these are such a distinctive feature of old tram lines (Sydney also used a very similar system). Some say that these headboards were designed to assist illiterate riders, but I always feel that they just made each tram more easily-identifiable at a distance.

Alain🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s handling of the insane terminus at Amsterdam Centraal is pretty awesome, with all the lines that go around what must have been a very crowded loop collapsing down to one line with the cross-town lines “bumping” around them. Line 22, which looks like it just made clockwise laps around Amsterdam Centraal (to the ferry terminal on the IJ?) is a very curious thing indeed! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d perhaps like to see this level of detail extended to all the turnaround loops and one way sections that the system used, as I find that type of thing fascinating, but I can also see why Alain opted not to.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final rating: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A gorgeous 🔸澳州10开奖记录 that I could look at for hours. Great work, Alain!

A map from the Beamish Museum showing the Newcastle upon Tyne tram, trolleybus and bus network in 1949. The trams and trolleys are long gone, but the bus network is still recognisable. I used to take the number 1 through that janky Heaton route in the 2000s.

The choice of sections for the map lookup references seems very of its time too.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

A rather splendid map, with every element hand-drawn – including two charming illustrations of double-decker vehicles in the top corners. Interestingly, the main map seems to be presented at a slightly oblique angle almost as if the view was from an aeroplane high above the city. Distances along the north-south axis are somewhat compressed, and everything leans to the left a little. The bridges over the River Tyne are drawn in a way that reinforces this perspective, so the effect is quite convincing.

If you look closely at this copy of the map, you can see that someone has meticulously written in the locations of all the car barns in blue ink – I wonder who owned this map in the past?

And yes, it always amazes me how modern bus routes continue to travel over the exact same route their predecessors did so long ago!

Overall, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a very pleasantly stylised depiction of the network using 30-degree angles, though it probably takes diagrammatic expansion of the downtown area to extremes. The distance from Harb🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划Esplanade to Spring Street is just 2.5km (or 1.5 miles), but it takes up a huge portion of the map, shrinking Melbourne🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s expansive suburbs substantially. I will say that the extra room for the CBD is used well, however – I particularly like the inclusion of the physical footprints of the city railway stations and how they interact with major downtown tram stops.

The main axis of routes along Swanson Street/St. Kilda Road is the major compositional device of the map, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a strong design element. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d probably like to see the single routes that cut across this road be brought to the top of the layer stack to make them a little easier to follow: the 6 and 58 in particular could benefit from this, but the east-west routes in the downtown zone would also look better if they were in front, I think.

I believe that the labels for the roads that the trams run along are new to this version of the diagram, and they certainly help with navigation and general orientation, especially as not all the interchanges are named. The inclusion of major landmarks and points of interest is also very welcome, though not quite so much 🔸澳洲开奖 they get shifted out of their proper location by other labels. For example, the Docklands Observation Wheel (yet another giant Ferris Wheel, branded as the Melbourne Star) is just 200 metres north of the Waterfront City Docklands stop, but that very label pushes the marker for the Wheel much further east, looking like a lengthy trek to reach.

Aside:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 It tickles me pink that in a city renowned for sports that need oval playing fields – cricket and Australian Rules Football – the venue used for the rugby codes and soccer is simply labelled as the “Rectangular Sports Stadium”.

The striped blue water is a pleasant design feature, although it does clash a bit with the similarly striped Zone 1/2 area to the top right of the map. As the zone area has to be striped to convey the idea that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “between zones”, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d probably have looked for a different texture for the water (subtle waves, perhaps?), or just used a flat blue instead.

A clean, no-nonsense legend and neat integration of the night tram network and weekend route deviations are other highlights of the map.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Once you get over the initial shock of the massive enlargement of the downtown area, this is actually a very competent diagram with a very consistent design language. More care could perhaps be taken with the order that the routes cross each other, but that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a deal breaker by any means. The addition of labels for the roads is a great evolution over the previous version.
