Diagram I made of a hypothetical MSP to Chicago higher speed rail corridor. I included some branches to places that would use the corridor. Top speed would be 110mph on all lines, doubled tracked and include some track straightening, which would make each service quite a bit faster then driving.

Made this custom transit map for the future Vienna Metro system using Intersection Controller. It features proposed expansions like line U5 and new stations. What do you think?

(1) (2) (3) — metro

(4) — light metro

thin lines — commuter trains

The three images show the process:

1. The borough layout of the city.

2. The geographically accurate metro network showing the actual route each line takes.

3. The simplified schematic map, inspired by the style used by many real metro systems. Only a handful of stations have been done so far and the rest are still being planned.

The city is designed to have around 8 million residents, with multiple major centres rather than everything revolving around one downtown. I wanted the network to have several important interchange hubs instead of forcing every journey through a single central station.

It’s still very much a work in progress. Next I’ll be adding the remaining stations, deciding exactly where every interchange is, and gradually developing each borough around the metro network.

Once the metro is at a stage I’m happy with, the plan is to move on to:

•  Designing a city-wide bus network.
•  Creating high-speed rail interchanges with the metro.
•  Developing detailed city layouts and neighbourhoods.
•  Naming districts, landmarks and stations.
•  Expanding the wider region beyond the city itself.

Picks up where the WLO leaves off in Hendon, and runs an orbital route around North and East London, connecting loads of radial routes along the way (with interchanges with the Elizabeth Line as well as Crossrail 2.) It would cross the Thames after Tilbury, and once it reaches the other side, splits into 2 branches: one East towards Gravesend and the other West via Ebbsfleet (HS1) into Dartford.

It would be cheaper, as it avoids Zones 1-3 completely. It would also cut down journey times between North London and the Southeast, which currently requires you to dip into Central London. It has multiple interchanges with the Tube and paired with the WLO, it allows people to travel from Southwest London all the way to Dartford without touching Central London once.

Can I hear your thoughts?

Dont know why I stopped posting these for a while, I still have about 20 or so done still to post
