A simple but nicely drawn map of tram services in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1957. The lack of any sort of key for the routes means that users need to have some familiarity with the city to decipher where trams might go. The pamphlet that the map is part of includes information about the route names and 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and last cars for the day along with some sight-seeing tours that can be made by tram, […]
Sydney🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Bankstown Line is closing for two weeks at the end of June as part of its conversion from standard heavy rail to a new and fancy high-frequency Metro line. Sydney Trains has produced the following map to help people navigate the many train replacement bus services needed to get riders around, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s… not great. While I understand that producing this type of map often involves a rapid turnaround with very little budget, this […]
Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a review that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely very overdue: the official Melbourne tram network diagram. 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 […]
Submitted by Thomas, who says: I felt like Melbourne was so far away because of the Covid-Curtain and desperately wanted to do anything but study for uni this weekend so I made this! It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s amazing how different the approaches to passenger commute information, up-front legibility and overall design cues differ between the rival cities. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: What a fun little project! What I particularly like is just how far Thomas has taken the “body […]
Originally submitted by Philip himself, with further submissions reminding me of it recently. Of the map, Philip says: This is my interpretation of what Melbourne🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rail network could look like in the style of the 1972 Vignelli New York Subway map. I have depicted the current Melbourne 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 passenger rail network as it stands in 2020, plus one tram route. Given this is a map of Melbourne with the largest tram network in the world, […]
Submitted by Davey, who says: Not a heavy Metro-centric map like y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划usual fare, these are mostly country road coaches spanning the wide south-west of Western Australia (spanning about 1,300kms from Kalbarri to Esperance). I find it interesting to look at though, especially the reliance on different dot-dash combinations for each coach. Would be interesting to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s get the pronunciation of this awkwardly styled name […]
Submitted by Felix Taaff, who says: Attached is a map of available bus routes from a single stop near Sydney🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Central Station. Apologies for the image quality [Don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t worry – I straightened the image in Photoshop – Cam]. I was intrigued by the map with my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划impression being that it would be very useful to tourists and visitors near Central station, with a network of routes shown but focussing on the CBD area. But […]
A solid mid-1980s map of Adelaide🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s surprisingly extensive suburban rail network – though there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s less branch lines than seen on this 1978 map, and many of the ones shown here would disappear in the next few years, no longer seen as profitable. The fact that all rail services are numbered allows short-turn and branch services to be easily discerned – on the green line, the 82 goes from Adelaide Station to Belair, while the 83 […]
The Melbourne suburban train network just after the City Loop opened in 1981. This is probably my favourite map of this particular network: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s clean and graphically simple — black dots are all that are used to indicate parking, not a graphical vehicle icon or even a “P” in a circle. The colours are nice and bright and group the lines into operational groups quite neatly… an approach I prefer far more than the zone-based […]
Submitted by Philip, who says: I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve designed this schematic map of what Victoria🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s passenger rail network looked like in 1928. It was absolutely huge, with 114 lines and 1,185 stations. The map is built around the seven main lines (thicker 15pt lines) with branch and other lines thinning out (10pt) to create a basic visual heirarchy. This emphasises services rather than infrastructure, as it also shows where passengers were required to interchange. Line groups are […]
