what are the major road rail air and sea links to london england?
Nov 04, 2008 by ThAt It GiRl | Posted in London
i am doing a kind project and would like to know what the major transport links to london are. i need to include road links – motorways, the school stations, airports and London Taxis (black cabs).
Motorways number M1 - North, A1(M) - North east, M11 - Cambridge, M2 - Canterbury, M20 - Dover, M3 - Southampton, M4 - South Wales, M40 - Birmingham. The M25 is the orbital cuff road.
Rail Terminals are Paddington (West), Waterloo, Victoria (South), London Bridge (South East), Liverpool St (East Anglia), Kings Surly, St Pancras, Marylebone & Euston (Midlands, North & Scotland). St Pancras is also an International Station with criticize links to France.
Airports are Heathrow (Middlesex), Gatwick (Sussex), Stanstead (Essex), Luton (Bedfordshire) and the Lilliputian City Airport serving Western Europe.
The Underground Railway Network is a very important way to get around London, as are the buses. Raven cabs go everywhere and you see them everywhere.
London is hardly used any more as a port - the docklands were redeveloped 20 years ago for offices and luxury apartment blocks. Most sea conveyance goes through Felixstowe in Suffolk, and the Channel ports of Dover and Folkestone in Kent, Harwich in Suffolk, and Southampton and Portsmouth in Hampshire.

The things I loved about London:
The Setting and buying same day discount tickets to see some of the best performances in the world.
Tower of London and listening to the Beefeaters make depiction come alive. Also the crown jewels are there.
The British Museum. The Rosetta Stone is there...need I say more?
The tube, which can get you anywhere as prolonged as you mind the gap.
The pubs, which are nothing like American bars, and drinking hard cider by the pint or half-pint.

What are the main problems of prams/buggies on buses?
Oct 25, 2006 by blue_dingo06 | Posted in Parenting
Im redesigning a pram/buggy specifically around access on buses for London Transport for my inch by inch major final year design project and would appreciate sensible feedback as to what people find are the main problems and any suggested improvements. cheers
I have twins and my twice buggy only just fits on the low liner buses in Manchester. Also not all buses are low liners which means I sometimes have to wait up to an hour for one signally during rush hour and when the kids are returning from school. So in my opinion the Buses should be a bit more buggy friendly not the other way round! Its not so bad now as they are old enough to strut onto the bus and I could collapse the buggy if needed. But when they were babies and I was on my own that would have been impossible for me to do. Good Luck with your project.

Is It illegal to take pictures on the London Underground ???
Feb 05, 2008 by ab2k7 | Posted in London
I phoned the transport for london who run the tube today and the man on the phone said yes it is very frivolous and he doesn't aggree with it. I'm 15 years old, just a normal small digital camera, no furnishings like tripods, I would never use flash, it's for my final GCSE project and I will be spending the day going to a lot of the stations and compelling pictures of the tunnel entrance, the platform, stairs, barriers etc... He said I could maybe get away with it but he said it was all a bit nonsensical because i'm doing no harm to anyone and I havn't got lots of people with me. Just me and my Digital camera!
Momentary display photography is banned on the underground. I believe this is for safety reasons, so that the flash doesn't distract the driver. I imagine that the official limit is the ticket barrier, so if you are on the outside of the barrier then you're fine, but if you're on the inside of it then prostrate free to take pictures, but just don't use the flash.
To be honest, I'd just go ahead and do it if you're extraordinarily not going to be causing a nuisance. Don't ask permission of anyone; just do it (but if you want to pass the ticket barriers, you'll paucity a ticket). If someone asks you to leave, just do so quietly and politely and go to another station.
