How the London UNDERGROUND shaped LondonJIM MUKERJEE
The "London Underground" is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2013. This presentation describes the initial trials and tribulations, dogged tenacity, and miraculous triumphs that transformed transportation, and people's lives, in Victorian London. Even today, the "UNDERGROUND" roundel logo, the "Tube Map", and imaginative posters, are instantly recognized worldwide as iconic symbols of one of the greatest cities of the world, steeped in history, culture, and commerce!
The activity showcases 2 sheets: no 1 - 7 bridges over River Tyne (Newcastle-Gateshead) and no 2 - cut out sheet with different modes of transport. The task is for kids to decide which mode goes on which bridge and why (e.g. family goes on a pedestrian bridge, train goes on a railway bridge not on a road bridge). We can also discuss bridge design principles, etc. We developed this activity with Newcastle University students for the British Science Festival in 2013. Graphics were done by a professional graphic designer.
With over 200 years of innovation and improvement, train industry managed to grow from its simple “steam engine” years to the modern envorment where train networks encompass entire planet Earth

THE GREAT INVENTIONS OF LAND AND PIPELINE TRANSPORT IN HISTORY AND ITS FUTURE...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the great inventions that contributed to the development of land and pipeline transport throughout history, as well as to show their probable future evolution. The means of land transport operate in the transport of people and cargo within cities and in the exchange between cities, states and surrounding countries, contributing to the economic and social development of a country or a region [3, 4. 5 and 6]. Land transport means are classified as rail, which use trains, electric trams and inclined planes, road transport, which use buses, cars, trucks, bicycles and motorcycles, subways that use the subway, as well as other means of transport such as urban elevators and cable cars. Pipeline or tubular means of transport are those made by means of tubes (gas pipelines, oil pipelines, alcohol pipelines, ore pipelines) to transport gases and fluids. This article presents in detail how the invention of the railway, the subway, the electric tram, the motor vehicle (internal combustion car, electric car and autonomous vehicle), the truck, the bicycle, the motorcycle, the elevator and ducts. In addition, it presents in detail what the land transport of the future will look like in urban centers, on railway lines and on highways

• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
The world of search engine optimization (SEO) is buzzing with discussions after Google confirmed that around 2,500 leaked internal documents related to its Search feature are indeed authentic.

1. The role of the railroads in
the life of British people
Done by:
Semenova Anna,
102
2. What do we know about the
“railroads”?
• A railroad is a system of transport made
up of trains, tracks, stations, and other
equipment. Because railroads can carry
large cargo over great distances in a single
trip, they use less fuel and produce less
pollution than cars and trucks.
3. The history overview
• The idea of the railway traces it origins to Romans
• By the 16th Century mining engineers used tramroads
fitted with wooden rails.
• Around 1603 a tramroad was built to carry coal from
mines Innovatively, the rails were fitted with side
boards so that they would guide normal wagon wheels.
This is widely regarded as the first true railway in the
world.
• In the beginning of the 19th Century the wagons were
hauled by horses but, in 1804, Richard Trevithick
demonstrated the first practical steam locomotive
engine.
6. The Networks
• The United Kingdom has
two major rail networks:
the network in Great
Britain and the Northern
Ireland network.
• The railway network in
Great Britain : 10,000
miles of track and serves
around 2,500 stations.
• The railway infrastructure
is owned and operated by
Network Rail.
7. • 4,928 km of track is electrified
• 12,591 km is double or multiple tracks.
• The maximum scheduled speed on the regular
network ~ 125 miles per hour (201 km/h) on the Inter
City lines.
• On High Speed 1, trains are now able to reach the
speeds of French TGVs.
8. The railway system in Great Britain
• It is the oldest in the world;
• the world's first locomotive-hauled public railway opened
in 1825.
• In addition, some cities have separate rail-based mass
transit systems
• The British railway network is connected with that of
continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel
• The UK has the 18th largest railway network in the world.
• It is one of the busiest railways in Europe, with 20% more
train services than France, 60% more than Italy, and more
than Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Portugal and
Norway combined.
9.
10. XX and XXI century
• Two projects: the Advanced Passenger Train
(APT) and the High Speed Train (HST).
• The 1980s were bad for railways in the UK.
• By the 1990s steps were put in place to privatize
the railways once more.
• 1994 - the official opening of the Channel
Tunnel
• High Speed 1 connecting the Channel Tunnel to
central London opened in 2007
11.
12. Railway stations
• There are 2,516 passenger railway
• Most date from the Victorian era.
• Major stations lie in large cities, (e.g. Liverpool,
Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow and
Manchester.
• London is a major hub of the network, with 12 main-line
termini forming a "ring" around central London.
• Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol are
major interchanges for many cross-country journeys that
do not involve London.
• Some important railway junction stations lie in smaller
cities and towns, for example York station, Crewe station
and Ely station.
13.
14. High-speed rail
• The international
definition of high-
speed rail embraces
new lines with a top
speed of at least 250
km/h and existing
lines with a top
speed of around 200
km/h .
15. UK Ultraspeed
• The UK Ultraspeed line is a
proposed magnetic-
levitation train line between
London and Glasgow, linking
Edinburgh, Birmingham,
Manchester and Newcastle,
and with a spur to Liverpool.
• This system would travel at
500 km/h, a significantly
higher speed than maximum
conventional high-speed rail
speeds of 300 to 380 km/h
16.
17. The Royal Train
The Royal Train is a set of railway carriages
dedicated for the use of the British Monarch, other
members of the Royal Family, and their staff.
The train enables members of the Royal Family to
carry out busy schedules over an extended period,
in a secure environment which minimises disruption
and inconvenience to the public, whilst providing
accommodation, communication, staff and office
facilities.
20. • What type of network is
it?
• When did Richard
Trevithick demonstrate
the first practical steam
locomotive engine?
• The idea of the railway
traces it origins to …..?
21. Quiz!
•Is the French TGV
faster than High-
speed 1?
•Do trains use more
fuel and produce
more pollution than
cars and trucks?
• What is the length
of British track?
